IONIA, Uncertain. Circa 650-600 BC. EL 1/6 Stater – Hekte (2.31 g). Milesian standard. Plain type. Plain globular surface / Incuse square punch. Weidauer -; Traité I -; SNG Kayhan 674; SNG von Aulock -; Triton XII, lot 306; CNG 72, lot 762. Good VF.

SNG Kayhan references Weidauer 4, but that type has both punches struck parallel side by side, where this coin appears to belong to a separate group with the punches struck offset at a 90 degree angle. Also the punches have tiny striations radiating inward from the sides, rather than being plain.
