Persian Achaemenid Empire, Satrapy of Lydia (Uncertain City in Caria), c. 515 - 475 B.C.
|Persian| |Caria|, |Persian| |Achaemenid| |Empire,| |Satrapy| |of| |Lydia| |(Uncertain| |City| |in| |Caria),| |c.| |515| |-| |475| |B.C.|, A lion head or forepart was a popular type, and most popular in Caria, but none of the published examples are similar enough to indicate a close relationship to this coin or provide a clue to its origin more specific than Caria, c. early 5th century. There is significant wear on the dies, so apparently many examples of this type were struck, but this is the only example we know to exist today.
