MYSIA, Kyzikos. Circa 600-550 BC. EL Hemihekte – Twelfth Stater (7mm, 1.33 g). Two tunnies left / Incuse square punch. Hurter & Liewald III 34.2; Lanz 30, lot 236; otherwise unpublished. VF. Extremely rare, only two examples noted by Hurter & Liewald (both in private collections), none in CoinArchives.

This issue, with both tunnies left, should not be confused with the slightly less rare issue with the tunnies facing in opposite directions (Hurter & Liewald 36).
