ASIA MINOR, Uncertain mint. 5th century BC. AR Tetartemorion (6mm, 0.20 g). Horse’s head left / Quadripartite incuse square. Cf. Tzamalis 92 (cruder style; Thraco-Macedonian mint); Klein –; Traité –; cf. SNG Kayhan 745 (rough incuse; mint in Ionia or Caria). Good VF, toned, light porosity.

While such coins are generally assigned to an uncertain Thraco-Macedonian mint, the style of the current coin is more refined than any of the horse types in Tzamalis. “Horse/incuse” types were almost certainly minted at multiple locations, and a mint in (western?) Asia Minor would seem logical based on provenances.
