Ancient Greece

The Mysia Winged Boar Electrum Stater is an ancient coin that dates back to the 5th century BC. This rare and unique coin features a striking design, with a winged boar depicted on the front and an incuse quadripartite on the back. The coin is made of electrum, a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver, which gives it a distinct color and appearance.

The winged boar on the front of the coin is a powerful symbol in ancient Greek mythology. It is associated with the goddess Artemis, who was often depicted with a boar by her side. The winged boar was also believed to be a sacred animal in the region of Mysia, where the coin was minted. The reverse of the coin features an incuse quadripartite design, which was a common feature in ancient Greek coinage. 

This particular Mysia Winged Boar Electrum Stater has been certified by NGC in Fine 4x4 condition. This means that the coin is in a high state of preservation, with only minor signs of wear and tear. The NGC certification provides additional assurance of the coin's authenticity and value, making it a highly sought-after item for collectors and investors alike.

This large, electrum full stater saw circulation around 2,500 years ago and remains today as a testament to the earliest money ever used by humans.
