Lot 203
IONIA. Uncertain. Circa 550-500 BC. Diobol (Silver, 11 mm, 1.40 g). Head of a roaring lion to left. Rev. Quadripartite incuse square. Klein -. Rosen -. SNG Kayhan -. Weber -, cf. 6040 (obol and of differing style). Very rare. Light die break on the reverse, otherwise, good very fine.

From the Kleinkunst Collection, ex Auctiones 18, 21-22 September 1989, 749.

Style and fabric of this issue, in particular the plain quadripartite incuse, make an attribution to Miletos, as suggested in the Auctiones catalogue, rather unlikely. For another example struck from the same dies, see Leu 7, 24 October 2020, 1283.
