IONIA, Phokaia. Circa 521-478 BC. AR Diobol (9mm, 1.28 g). Head of griffin left; seal behind / Incuse square with pyramidal facets. SNG Copenhagen -; cf. SNG von Aulock 2116 (triobol?); SNG Keckman 300. VF, dark hoard patina.

The references call this denomination a hemidrachm (triobol), but the weight appears to cluster around two points, 1.65-1.80 and 1.20-1.30, which suggests two denominations, a triobol (hemidrachm) and diobol.
