The first coins with magistrate’s names from Teos came after the lifting of Athenian hegemony over Ionia, upon their final defeat in the Peloponnesian War. It appears that in the first phase, the names were simply engraved over the standard quadripartite incuse type with not much concern over the placement of letters. Later on, the names were added to the wider crossbars of the divided square.

Teos (BC 530-500) Hemidrachm661 viewsca 510 BC. AR Hemidrachm (3.50g). Protome of a winged griffin right, forelegs extended with talons outstretched / Irregular incuse square. Extremely rare. Toned, EF.

From the collections of H.S. von Aulock and R. Jameson. This is a most enigmatic coin, possibly even unpublished. While it was attributed to Teos in von Aulock, Jameson pointed out that griffin protomes were not used there (but cf. coin #557); Balcer excluded it from his corpus (without comment). It could have been minted in Phokaia, as Babelon pointed out in his commentary on a very similar drachm (Traite'), especially since griffin protomes were used on later issues at Phokaia.
