| Beschrijving voorzijde | Head of a lion or bovine animal facing right, rendered in a bold archaic style characteristic of early Lydian and related electrum coinage. The creature's eye is depicted as a raised globule, with the muzzle, jaw, and facial musculature defined by broad, flowing ridges. The design fills the small flan entirely, with no legend or border, reflecting the primitive artistic conventions of the early seventh to sixth century BC. The surface shows the characteristic golden hue of the electrum alloy, with lightly granular texture in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cimmerians — a nomadic people who swept through Anatolia in the late 7th century BC, sacking Sardis and destabilizing Lydian authority — are not typically associated with coinage at all. Attribution of electrum fractions to them remains contested among specialists, with some arguing the BMC classification reflects the geographic findspot rather than a confirmed issuing authority. The electrum itself almost certainly originates from the Pactolus River valley, the same natural alloy source feeding early Lydian and Ionian issues.
