ID:     80000311      [UNVERIFIED] Type:     Greek Region:     IONIA City:     Uncertain Ionian Mint Metal:     Electrum Denomination:     EL Hekte Struck / Cast:     struck Date Struck:     BC Circa 600-550 Weight:     2.45 g Obverse Description:     Forepart of bridled horse left, legs forward in running motion, and mane flowing behind Reverse Description:     Quadripartite incuse square Primary Reference:     Weidauer - Reference2:     TraitÉ - Reference3:     SNG Kayhan - Reference4:     SNG VA -; Rosen -; Elektron 1 corr. (horse “head”); Triton XI, lot 252 Photograph Credit:     Classical Numismatic Group Source:     http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=132534 Grade:     Good VF Notes:     Sale: Triton XII, Lot: 311 Extremely rare with horse forepart. While horse-heads are relatively common electrum types, the forepart is traditionally found on depictions of Pegasos (cf. Weidauer 141ff). It is clear that no wing is present on the horse here, though, so it is certainly not Pegasos.
