IONIA. Miletos. Late 6th-early 5th century BC. Twelfth stater or diobol (Silver, 9.5 mm, 1.16 g). Forepart of lion to left, head turned back to right. Rev. Star-shaped floral ornament within incuse square. Klein 426-427. SNG Kayhan 468-475. SNG Von Aulock 2082. Unusually attractive and struck in high relief. Extremely fine.

From the Trausnitz Collection, acquired prior to 2000.

The late 6th and 5th century diobols of Miletos must have been issued in immense numbers – they certainly are very common today. However, this piece is exceptional in the quality of the strike and the fine quality of its silver.
