|Archaic| |Electrum|, |Ionia,| |c.| |600| |-| |550| |B.C.|, The referenced CNG coin is one of only a few other examples of this type known to Forum. Electrum coins with a very similar obverse type have been attributed to Erythrai. CNG identified this type and the referenced von Aulock coin as distinct from that group. The coins attributed to Erythrai have a quadripartite incuse also found on the Herakles-head electrum from that city. This coin and the von Aulock trite have a plain square punch. Also, the electrum at Erythrai are all struck on the Phokaic standard, while this and the von Aulock trite are on the Lydo-Milesian standard.
