IONIA, Teos. Circa 510-475 BC. AR Stater (11.90 g). Griffin seated right, raising foreleg; E before / Quadripartite incuse square. Cf. Balcer group X (for rev. die, P33), otherwise unpublished. Near EF.

Balcer group IV is listed as having an E alone, but this was in error; his obverse die 12 had an M below the griffin’s belly (see lot 788, above).
