Unpublished Asia Minor Drachm

Starting Price: 75 CHF
Hammer Price:  300 CHF
Lot 284

ASIA MINOR, Uncertain. Parion or Ionia?. 625-600 BC. 1/3 Stater (Silver, 15 mm, 3.58 g). Raised incused square. Rev. Quadripartite incuse square. Unpublished in the standard references, but struck from the same dies as CNG 3366 (2016), 585. Nearly very fine.



The fabric of this coin is similar to the coins of Parion, but the raised incuse square clearly reminisces the Ionian "raised swastika" series. A date around the last quarter of the 6th century seems appropriate for this coin.
