IONIA. Uncertain mint. Ca. 625-550 BC. EL eighth? stater (8mm, 1.89 gm). NGC XF 4/5 - 3/5. Uncertain standard. Uncertain design of four equally-sized raised platforms formed from two deep intersecting channels, raised post with appendage in one channel in the form an unknown object in one quadrant / Crisply formed triangular incuse square. Unpublished and fascinating. A most intriguing specimen with odd weight standard (1-1/2 the weight of a Milesian standard twelfth stater) and a pattern like none this cataloger has seen. Truly the definition of a unique type!
