Found in the Artemision at Ephesus, in trench 421 under the north foundation of the Archaic dipteral temple of Artemis. Its findspot is 8 m east of “Cult Base D” (see the electrum twelfth-stater No. 19). This was found closer to the limestone base than the electrum coin No. 19, which was excavated 4 m further east. This coin was found in an earth layer (Bammer 1988, 2: “Erdschicht”) situated immediately above and contiguous to the ashy layer with charcoal, animal bones, pottery and numerous small votives like the electrum coin No. 19, which A. Bammer interpreted as cultic deposit belonging to “Cult Base D” (on the stratigraphy: Bammer 1988, 2, fig. 1–2 - the ashy layer is marked dark gray on fig. 2 and labeled “dunkle Schicht aus Kohle, Asche und Kleinfunden;” cf. Weissl 2003/04, 189). The coin was found at a depth of –0.07 m, whereas the top level of the charcoal layer rich in small votives is slightly deeper, at –0.10 m. Thus, this coin was found in a slightly higher and therefore later deposit than No. 19. The chronological difference in the deposition of the two electrum coins, however, cannot yet be determined, since neither the stratigraphy nor the pottery finds of this area have been studied in detail (cf. above, comment on No. 19). Since the stratum comprising No. 22 was overbuilt by the north foundation of Croesus’ temple, the beginning of its building, which can be dated to the second quarter of the sixth century BC (Kerschner 1997, 88; Weissl 2002, 342–343; Ohnesorg 2007, 128), provides a terminus ante quem for the deposition of No. 22. Together with this coin were found ten pieces of gold jewelry (Pülz 2009, nos. 204, 243, 339, 378, 401, 485, 527, 571, 967, D8, pls. 16, 18, 25, 29, 32, 37–39, 97, 103), a falcon of Naukratite faience (Hölbl 2008a, 212, 219, fig. 186; Hölbl 2008b, 204 cat. no. 216, dated to the late seventh/first half of sixth century BC) and another electrum coin, another one-third stater with a cowering lion with a round “wart” (Bammer 1988, 19, fig. 30a–b; Karwiese 2008a, 133, 147, fig. 113; Karwiese 2008b, 241, cat. no. 298).
