IONIA. Uncertain. Circa 600-550 BC. Trite (Electrum, 20.5 mm, 4.78 g), Lydo-Milesian standard. Pegasos with a slender elongated body walking slowly to right, raising his right (?) foreleg; between his hind legs, pentagram with a central pellet. Rev. Two square punches side by side, the large one with an irregular surface, the small one with a cross ornamented by two dashes crossing each stroke. Cf. Boston MFA 1761 (Pegasos to left). Fischer-Bossert, Horses 8a (dies P8/P13-P14, this coin). Cf. Weidauer 147-9 (Pegasos to left) and 144 for a punch very similar to the right side punch on this coin. Unique with Pegasos to the right. Good very fine.

From a Swiss Collection, acquired in 2000.
