Obolos 43 Realized: 280 CHF
IONIA. Uncertain mint. Circa 600-550 BC. Myshemihekte or 1/24th Stater (Electrum, 6 mm, 0.70 g), Phokaic standard. Uncertain depiction, possibly half length figure of a standing man raising his hands. Rev. Irregular incuse square. Seemingly unpublished! Struck from the same dies as Heritage 61568 (2025), 21069 (obverse described as "horse head", erroneously comparing it with Rosen 287-289 and SNG von Aulock 1781) & Naumann 133 (2023), 243 (obverse described as "plain globular surface", referencing SNG Kayhan I 678), but struck from a fresh obverse die in contrary to these two examples. Obverse somehow reminisces Rosen 264. Possibly the best known example of this unpublished type. Extremely fine.
