Extremely rare and a new type for a possibly heretofore undiscovered mint, as well as one of the earliest architectural types. The chronology for this type can be safely given to this time period as the present specimen is struck over a warrior/triskleles type from Aspendos (circa 465-430 BC).

Condition: Very fine, overstruck on an Aspendos type.
