One of the first coins ever minted! (Please debate with me about this 😊)

What do y'all think? This is from NWA 17680, I paid about $1,500. I'm excited to hold it in my hands, so cool!

We (the numismatic community) are trying to solve one of the mysteries of history in trying to determine exactly the who, what, when , where, why, and even how, of the Lydian coins.

However, we only have a limited number of coins to compare due to the export restrictions.

I don't know if these coins are more common in Turkey, but if they are, it would be great for more people to post high definition pictures of both the offers and reverse, so that we could compare punch die impressions.

Any other info someone might have on the history of the coins would also be break appreciated. Hoping to see and learn some cool stuff about Anatolia!
