Ionia Uncertain (BC 520-470) Triobol?285 viewsca 5th century BC. AR Hemidrachm / Triobol (?) (10mm, 2.16g). Forepart of horse left / Irregular quadripartite incuse. Near VF, granular surfaces.

The Rosen catalog notes that the entry for the Vourla hoard in IGCH designates Samos as the mint of these coins, but J.P. Barron disagrees. Von Aulock placed the coin at an uncertain mint in Ionia, while Rosen was more general, at an uncertain mint in Asia Minor. Ionia Uncertain (BC 550-500) Cock - EL 1/241531 viewsca 6th century BC.

Head of pegasos left / Incuse square. Near EF. On most examples of this issue, the wing of Pegasos is off the flan, and therefore the type is usually referred to as a horse’s head. Ionia Uncertain (BC 550-500) Horse - EL 1/24536 views600-550 BC. EL 1/24 Stater (0.59g, 5mm). Bridled head of Pegasos left / Rough incuse square. EF. Carr coll. On almost all other examples that have come to auction, or appear in standard references, the wing of the Pegasos is not on the flan, giving the appearance of simply the head of a horse.1 comments Ionia Uncertain (BC 550-500) Horse - EL 1/48647 viewsca 600-550 BC. EL 1/48 Stater (5mm, 0.30g). Head of horse left / Incuse square with raised sections in form of a cross. VF. Lee Coll.; said to be ex Rosen Coll. (not included in publication of collection).

Possibly unique. This coin may not belong to the same series as the Weidauer coins, which are not only larger denominations but also exhibit a different style of wings (curved rather than pointed) and incuse punches. Ionia Uncertain (BC 600-550) Figural - EL 1/6704 viewsca 600­-550 BC. EL Hekte (2.20g). Athena or Artemis standing facing, head left, holding with both hands a long thin object across waist / Irregular incuse punch. Of the highest rarity, apparently only the second specimen known.

Head of lion (or seal) left / Two incuse square punches. gVF.1 comments Ionia Uncertain (BC 600-550) Griffin - EL 1/6804 viewsca 600-550 BC. EL Hekte - 1/6 Stater (10.5mm, 2.34g). Lydo-Milesian standard. Head of lion(?) left, pellet (sun?) on forehead / Two incuse squares with irregular lines within. Good VF. Very rare.1 comments Ionia Uncertain (BC 600-550) leg - EL 1/24380 viewsa 600-550 BC. EL 1/24 Stater (6mm, 0.67g). Leg and shoulder (of stag?) / Incuse punch of mill-sail pattern. VF. Extremely rare. The exact nature of this design is not known, but it has the strong appearance of an animal's shoulder and leg, the hair on the lower part of the leg being highly evident on this example. Ionia Uncertain (BC 600-550) leg - EL 1/24322 viewsca 600-550 BC. EL Myshemihekte – Twenty-Fourth Stater (6mm, 0.66g). Uncertain design (chicken wing, rabbit leg, or human leg?) / Incuse square. Unpublished in the standard references. Good VF. Extremely rare. The device on the obverse bears a strong resemblance to the obols attributed to Phlious in Phliasia (cf. BCD Peloponnesos 78–80), as does the reverse punch – a case of imitating types? Ionia Uncertain (BC 600-550) Lion - EL 1/21806 viewsca 600 BC. EL Hemistater (8.35g). Phokaian standard. Figural type. Head of roaring lion right / Irregular incuse. Good VF. Unique. While this coin appears to belong to Wiedauer's Series XLIII (lion head), the style of both the lion and the incuse are somewhat different. In particular, the incuses on the Wiedauer coins are shallower and have rough irregular patterns in relief. The incuse on the present coin is much deeper and has a smooth surface that flows to varying depths. Although these differences suggest this coin belongs to another series or issue, it is also possible, because there are no published hemistaters of this type, that this coin represents the norm for this particular denomination. Ionia Uncertain (BC 600-550) Lion 1 - EL 1/12573 viewsca 600-550 BC. EL Hemihekte (1/12 Stater) (9mm, 1.01g). Roaring lion's head left / Ornamented incuse punch.

EL Hekte - 1/6 Stater (2.42g). Milesian standard. Figural type. Head of roaring lion right on striated background / Double incuse square punches. Unpublished. Good VF. Apparently unique. A few very rare issues of electrum have a lion forepart on a horizontally-striated field (cf. CNG 69, lots 444 and 447), but this is apparently the first appearance of lion’s head on a vertically-striated field. Ionia Uncertain (BC 600-550) Lion 1 - EL 1/6637 viewsca 600-550 BC. EL Hekte (10mm, 2.24g). Two back to back lions' heads, facing downward with open jaws and lolling tongues, a volute decoration between / Single divided punch with volute design.

Very rare. The style of the obverse of this type has a resemblance to similar hemihektes of Miletos (cf. SNG Kayhan 444–8), but the attribution of those pieces is based on their incuses, all of which have geometric shapes or pellets similar to the staters that are conclusively proven to have been from Miletos (cf. SNG Kayhan 440–1). Further study, however, may eventually prove the attribution of these plain-incuse issues to Miletos as well. Ionia Uncertain (BC 600-550) Lion 4 - EL 1/24607 viewsca 600-550 BC. EL 1/24 Stater (7mm, 0.59g). Milesian standard. Figural type. Head of roaring lion left / Incuse square. Good VF. Apparently unpublished denomination. The cataloger of the Elektron collection associated its coins of this type to Rosen 304, but the style of the lion and the incuse punch are not consistent with these.

Figural type. Sphinx seated left on ground line; cross with terminal pellets to left / Irregular incuse. Unpublished. Good VF. Unique. This previously unknown type almost certainly has an Ionian origin, but the specific mint remains unknown. The sphinx appears as a civic emblem on archaic coins of both Chios and Samothrace, but Samothrace did not issue electrum, and the electrum staters of Chios, although struck on the same weight standard as the present coin, are of a distinctly different style (cf. Baldwin, Chios, pl. I, 1-12). The cross with terminal pellets -- perhaps a solar symbol is exceptional by its appearance here as a subsidiary symbol. Such subsidiary symbols are rare on early electrum (but cf. Triton VIII, lots 399-405, for the use of a pentagram or a triad of pellets as symbols on the early electrum of Ephesos). The cross with terminal pellets does appear on other uncertain early electrum (cf. Traite I 7, pl. I, 6) and is employed regularly as a reverse type on the electrum of Miletos (with a central pellet in addition to the terminal pellets; cf. SNG Kayhan 440-449).
