Head a lion and bull on reverse and two square incuses on obverse.
Extremely sharp (Near VF). Credit of producing true coins in Lydia goes to King Coresus ( 561-46 BCE ) son of Alyattes. He set the standards for purity of metal (98 % gold or silver) and official seal of king on the obverse ( head a lion and Bull). This official seal guaranteed the value of the coin by the King.While some sigloi were struck during the reign of the Persians, this coin was definitely struck under Croesus.
