This coin dates back to one of the earliest periods in human monetary history, making it an exceptionally rare and historically significant piece. Issued between 650 and 600 BCE, it belongs to the dawn of coinage, and surviving examples are exceedingly scarce.
While the coin bears no visible markings, its authenticity is verified through NGC certification, offering high reliability—a rare opportunity for acquisition.

  • The strike quality is rated at the highest level, 5 out of 5, reflecting crisp and clear details.
  • The surface preservation is also flawless, with no detracting flaws commonly found in ancient coins.

For an artifact over 2,600 years old, its pristine state is truly remarkable.

★ Market Appeal
Made from electrum, an alloy of gold and silver, this coin holds both intrinsic value and historical significance. As both gold and silver prices rise, electrum coins are increasingly attractive to collectors and investors alike.

Moreover, being among the earliest known coins in human history, its historical value is immense. As interest in the ancient coin market continues to grow, demand for such rare and ancient pieces is expected to rise significantly.

This coin was issued shortly after humanity first began minting coins, making it a fascinating piece for antique coin collectors.
A true artifact from the origins of coinage, offering both historical depth and lasting value.
