Ionia, c. 650 - 600 B.C., Rough Irregular "Typeless" Type
|Archaic| |Electrum|, |Ionia,| |c.| |650| |-| |600| |B.C.,| |Rough| |Irregular| |"Typeless"| |Type|, Some sales catalogs describe similar coins as the striated type. The roughly parallel lines on the striated type appear to be impressed into the "obverse" by lines cut into the anvil. On this coin, it appears the rough irregular "typeless" surface is simply flattened rough pre-strike features from the raw irregular nugget-like "planchet." Based on the apparent wear on the reverse punch, huge numbers of this type may have been struck. Very few have survived. This is the first example handled by Forum.
