Mytilene (BC 521-478) EL Hekte - B16 var

ca 521-478 BC. EL Hekte (2.50g, 11h). Ramâ€™s head, facing left; below, cock running right / Incuse lionâ€™s head facing right. F.

This is a variant of Bodenstedt 16 in as much as the ramâ€™s head faces left instead of right. Possibly unique as it is the only one to appear at auction and no other example appears in standard references.
