ID:     153343      [UNVERIFIED] Type:     Greek Region:     IONIA City:     Ephesus Date Ruled:     Circa 620-600 BC Metal:     Electrum Denomination:     Hekte Struck / Cast:     struck Date Struck:     BC Circa 620-600 Diameter:     9 mm Weight:     2.30 g Obverse Description:     Forepart of stag right Reverse Description:     Square incuse punch with raised intersecting lines Primary Reference:     Wiedauer 35 cf. = Robinson, TraitÉ pl. II, 18 = E.S.G. Robinson, ANS Centennial Publication, pl. XXIX, 3B = BMC Ionia pg. 47, 4 (type left with three pellets before) Reference2:     Weidauer 37 cf. = Boston MFA 1816 (Hemihekte) Photograph Credit:     Classical Numismatic Group Source:     http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=50977 Grade:     Good VF Notes:     Extremely rare; second known "Phanes" hekte, the first known with type right. This hekte is associated with the Ephesian coins signed Faenos emi shma (“I am the badge of Phanes”) and Faenos (“Phanes”). While the larger staters and trites bear these signatures, the known hekte and hemihektes do not. Nevertheless, the style of the obverse stag, and unusual reverse incuse are identical among these coinages. The weights of the smaller coins are also commensurate with a fractional coinage of the larger denominations.
