利底亞的Stater(電金幣)約鑄於公元前600年,是世界上最早的硬幣之一。它由天然的金銀合金(electrum)製成,特徵是厚實、不規則、類似斑塊的形狀,由手工錘打形成。正面刻有獅子頭或前部,象徵呂底亞王權,背面則是鐵砧上的普通沖孔痕跡,沒有凸起圖案。 Minted around 600 BC, the Lydian Stater (electrum) is among the world's earliest coins. Crafted from naturally occurring gold-silver alloy (electrum), it features a thick, irregular, blob-like shape formed by manual hammering. The obverse displays an engraved lion head or forepart symbolizing Lydian royal power, while the reverse features plain incuse punch marks from the anvil without any raised imagery.
