LESBOS, Mytilene. Circa 478-455 BC. EL Hekte – Sixth Stater (10.5mm, 2.63 g, 10h). Head of ram right; unclear symbol below / Incuse head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin headdress; rectangular punch below. Cf. Bodenstedt Em. 18; cf. HGC 6, 943. Good VF.

The usual symbol below the ram’s head is a cock standing left, but there is an extremely rare variety with the head of a hare right instead. However, what is visible on this example does not comport with either of those symbols, and may even be a legend.
