Commentary
Ce type fait penser au monnayage de Clazomène qui semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
This type is reminiscent of the coinage of Clazomène which seems much rarer than general works suggest.

Historical background
IONIA - LEUKAI
(4th century BC)
Leukai was located in the Gulf of Smyrna, in the northern part, opposite Clazomene. The city was founded in 352 BC by the Persian admiral Tachs (Diodorus, XV, 18) and who very quickly fell under the influence of Clazomene.
