| Lot description: TROAS, Kebren. Late 6th-early 5th centuries BC. EL Myshemihekte – Twenty-fourth Stater (6.5mm, 0.65 g). Phokaic standard. Head of ram left / Incuse square. SNG Kayhan 1565 (uncertain Ionia); CNG 121, lot 313. Minor die wear. VF. Although there are a few electrum Phokaic standard electrum known with a ram's head (particularly from Mytilene and Phokaia, as well as an uncertain mint in Ionia [see Weidauer 50]), all are distinctly different in style from this coin. At the same time, the style of the ram's head here is a perfect match to the type found on the early silver issues at Kebren (cf. SNG Ashmolean 1076–7 and SNG Arikantürk I 370). Estimate: 150 USD |  |
