MYSIA, Kyzikos. Circa 550-450 BC. EL Stater (19mm, 16.03 g). Wolf at bay left on tunny left / Quadripartite incuse square. FSD SHM 1200 = Hermitage (Exhibition) 112 = Hermitage Sale II 1157 corr. (not Von Fritze 93); CNG 102, lot 362; Album 20, lot 15 corr. (same); Roma V, lot 371 corr. (same); otherwise unpublished. VF, weak strike on head. Very rare.

This type is very similar to Von Fritze I 93, but on that issue, the hound/wolf is clearly raising a forepaw (cf. SNG France 230).
