The legend allows the assignment of related types. A little later, the same iconography has been assigned to uncertain Lycian dynasts (Traité 245, BMC Lycia 100, Gorny & Mosch 200 (2011), 1926). Presumably, the bronze coins with female/griffin, which were previously set thought from Phocaea (SNG Cop Ionia 1031f.), are minted in Assos.Jul 03, 2012

The first coins with magistrate’s names from Teos came after the lifting of Athenian hegemony over Ionia, upon their final defeat in the Peloponnesian War.

Later on, the names were added to the wider crossbars of the divided square.Jul 01, 2012

The helmeted head must be that of a hero-warrior. The whole idea of using just a helmeted head with no individuality as a type is quite interesting; that there is a head inside the helmet is clear from the eye that peeks out above the side piece. Jun 30, 2012
