Lesbos, Unattributed Mint, Billon Stater
Lesbos, Unattributed Early Mint (c. 500-450 B.C.), Billon Stater. Confronted heads of two calves, as if to give the impression of a single facing head, an olive-tree between them, rev. incuse square with an uneven surface, 11.00g. (BMC 46; SNG von Aulock 1682; SNG Copenhagen 285). Dark tone, very fine.
The obverse of this enigmatic issue presents us with an interesting optical illusion. The two confronted calves' heads can also be viewed as a single facing head.
