KINGS of LYDIA. Uncertain King. Before 561 BC. EL Trite (4.71 gm). Head of boar with prominent tusk right / Double incuse punch with rough stellate pattern. Weidauer 55; BMC Lydia -; Spier 2; Boston MFA 1760. Good VF. ($1000)

The Spier coin proves the obverse die shows two boar heads confronted; the small flan causes the right handed boar to be lacking. Conceivably, there existed a full stater with the complete type present.
