I posted this in the alphabet thread yesterday. Wasn't going to show again, but it fits here too. 

Trite from an uncertain mint in Ionia, possibly Clazomenae, c. 600 - 550 BC.

Forepart of a ram on the obverse and two incuse punches on the reverse.

This photo doesn't do the coin justice, it is actually quite attractive in hand.
