The electrum hecte coins struck at Mytilene on the Isle of Lesbos stand among the most admired and widely collected issues in ancient Greek numismatics. Their remarkable artistic diversity, outstanding engraving craftsmanship, and strong association with one of the most refined cultural centers of the ancient Aegean have combined to establish them as some of the most desirable and consistently valued small-denomination coins produced in the ancient world. This Isle of Lesbos Electrum Hecte has a Very Fine grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), as well as a 4/5 surface grade. Right now, the Isle of Lesbos Mytilene Electrum Hecte Coin is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each Isle of Lesbos Mytilene Electrum Hecte Coin is available here in Very Fine condition, with a quality 4/5 grade for the surface condition. A 4/5 grade indicates a coin with only minimal signs of wear and tear, as well as some of the original mint luster still present. The 2/5 strike grade indicates a coin that has below-average original strike quality, but still retains visible details.
The electrum hecte coins of Mytilene produced between approximately 412 and 378 BC represent the middle and arguably most creatively fertile period of the city’s celebrated hecte series, struck during the turbulent final decades of the Peloponnesian War and the complex political realignments of the Corinthian War that followed, a period when Mytilene navigated the shifting alliances and power struggles of the Greek world.
The obverse of Isle of Lesbos Electrum Hectes comes with a bust of Ares wearing a helmet, while the reverse of the Mytilene Electrum Hecte Coin features a portrait of an Amazon. The hecte coins of this middle period are widely regarded as among the most artistically accomplished in the entire Mytilene series, their obverse types presenting a breathtaking variety of divine and mythological heads executed with a delicacy, expressiveness, and technical mastery that place the finest examples at the very pinnacle of ancient miniaturist coin engraving.
