(BC 562) Uncertain King - EL 1/3 Stater

Uncertain King, before 561 BC. EL 1/3 Stater - Trite (4.71g). Head of boar with prominent tusk right / Double incuse punch with rough stellate pattern. Good VF.

The Spier coin proves the obverse die shows two boar heads confronted; the small flan causes the right handed boar to be lacking. Conceivably, there existed a full stater with the complete type present.
