Hecte (1/6 Stater): Omphale (Obverse); Square (Reverse), 500-300 BC. Greece, Phokaia (Ionia). Electrum (gold-silver alloy); diameter: 0.9 cm (3/8 in.). This very small electrum coin shows the Lydian queen Omphale on the obverse. She can be distinguished from Herakles, whose lion-skin she wears, by her earring. Also visible, over her shoulder, is the heros club, while beneath her swims a small seal—phôkê in Greek, a punning reference to Phokaia, where the coin was made. The reverse features a much simpler design, a quartered incuse square.
