TROAS, Kebren. Late 6th-early 5th centuries BC. EL Hekte (11mm, 2.74 g). Phokaic standard. Head of ram left / Incuse square. SNG von Aulock 7775 (uncertain Ionia); cf. SNG Kayhan 1565 (myshemihekte; uncertain Ionia). Softly struck. Good VF. Very rare. Although there are a few electrum Phokaic standard hektai known with a ram's head (particularly from Mytilene and Phokaia, as well as an uncertain mint in Ionia [see Weidauer 50]), all are distinctly different in style from this coin. At the same time, the style of the ram's head here is a perfect match to the type found on the early silver issues at Kebren (cf. SNG Ashmolean 1076–7).
