TYPE Ancient Greece, Kolophon (Ionia), late 6th c. BC, Persic standard silver tetartemorion(?), 0.10g DESCRIPTION . Obv: Archaic head of Apollo(?) left Rev: Neat 4-part incuse square REFERENCE: Kay 345 var. GRADING: VF+, toning, rough, obv. bit o/c, rare ORDER INFO: G3159, $95 Rare minuscule early silver fraction - similar to the previous lot, but even lighter, and thus one of the smallest coins ever minted. Interesting Archaic representation of Apollo, with hair in lateral corn-rows (reminiscent a bit of Herakles), earring (as well as large ear) and the characteristic "facing" profile eye. Despite no visible wear or damange, the weight of this fraction is less than that for any of the published SNG Kayhan specimens for this type (twelve of them, ranging 0.12g - 0.24g), though it is unlikely that anyone would be expected to think of this as a, say, hemitartemorion - given the size and identical design.
