ASIA MINOR, Uncertain mint. 5th century BC. AR Drachm (10mm, 5.65 g, 10h). Aeginetic or Persic standard. Stag (or bull?) kneeling or lying left, head reverted / Schematic facing lion head within linear and pelleted squares. Unpublished. VF, darkly toned, light scuffs under tone.
The types on this drachm are similar to an issue of Lycian dynastic staters (cf. Falghera 67), but its weight must be on the Aeginetic or Persic standard, and does not comport with Lycia during this period.
