Commentary
Nous n’avons pas relevé d’identité de coin pertinente pour cette petite monnaie divisionnaire. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous le proposons à la vente.
We have not found any relevant die identity for this small fractional coin. This type appears to be much rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time we have offered it for sale.

Historical background
IONIA - TEOS
(6th - 5th century BC)
Teos was a very old city that its inhabitants abandoned in 544 BC, when the Persians invaded Ionia, to go and found Abdera in Thrace. Less than 50 years later, settlers from Abdera refounded the city of Asia Minor, which explains why both cities had griffins on their coins. Teos was renowned for its Ionic order temple built by Hermogenes and dedicated to Dionysus.
