Commentary
Style très particulier avec un lion fin et allongé. Le carré creux est difficile à interpréter et semble divisé en deux parties inégales.
Very particular style with a thin and elongated lion. The hollow square is difficult to interpret and seems divided into two unequal parts.

Historical background
CARIA - ANONYMOUS
(5th - 4th century BC)
Coinage in Caria began at the very end of the 7th century or at the beginning of the 6th century BC, at Halicarnassus (GC. 3472) with electrum staters. Silver coins appeared in the second half of the 5th century BC with coins of eginetic weight. The archaic period ends at the beginning of the 5th century after the Ionian revolt. Many coins are still unassigned or should be. The few finds, poorly located or fragmented after their discovery do not facilitate this work, however so important for History..
