MYSIA, Kyzikos. Circa 600-550 BC. EL Hemihekte – Twelfth Stater (7mm, 1.32 g). Two tunnies left / Incuse square punch. Hurter & Liewald III 34.2; CNG E-366, lot 532; CNG 96, lot 380; Lanz 30, lot 236; otherwise unpublished in the standard references. VF, a little off center. Very rare.

Ex Cederlind 162 (21 December 2011), lot 55.

This issue, with both tunnies left, should not be confused with the slightly less rare issue with the tunnies facing in opposite directions (Hurter & Liewald 36).
