Jun 12, 2012 Mylasa (BC 6th cent) EL 1/48 Stater913 viewsca 600-550 BC. EL 1/48 Stater (Milesian standard), (0.28g). Lion's paw / Scorpion in incuse square. EF. The lion's paw fractions are traditionally attributed to Lydia, since the lion was the Lydian royal badge. J. Spier, Studies Price, pp. 327-334, has discovered several reverse-punch links between lion's paw fractions and some Ionian issues, but this might only mean that the linked coinages were produced by the same team of workers, who carried the same reverse punches from one job to the next. 1 commentsJun 12, 2012 Mylasa (BC 6th cent) EL 1/48 Stater358 views6th century BC.
