Ionia, Phokaia? c. 525-500 BC AR Hemiobol (4x6mm, 0.37g) Head of seal(?) right Quadrupartite incuse Catalog listings are for head left, but here is one facing right https://www.cNGCoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=132012 Report this Post to the Staff

ancient67 Valued Member France 332 Posts	Posted 03/06/2018 4:22 pm Head of seal? That's very possible... I saw recently an hekte from Phokaia on an auctioner website, and there's one above the head of the lion (I would like to put an image but apparently I cannot in the middle of a discussion) Report this Post to the Staff
