Valecrucis Valued Member United Kingdom 435 Posts	Posted 10/02/2014 8:40 pm I love the small silvers of Cherronesos, with their wide variety of interesting types. I only have three myself, images of which I shall share in a moment. There is a website by the highly knowledgeable Barry Murphy which lists 125 types, with almost a hundred images, that can be found at this web address: http://bpmurphy.ancients.info/chers...rronesos.htm I was wondering how many types collectors on here possess and thought it would make an interesting thread to share photographs of as many different types from our collections as we could..

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/02/2014 9:11 pm Nice coins, I haven't gotten into these yet. I prefer tetradrachms over these smaller coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Valecrucis Valued Member United Kingdom 435 Posts	Posted 10/03/2014 08:19 am Nice finds Medieval, but I am just wondering about the connection to Thracian Cherronesos? What am I missing? Edit...there was no need to remove your post Medieval. I sincerely thought there might be a link to the coins of Cherronesos that I might be missing, that was all I meant to ask..

Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 10/03/2014 6:21 pm V.C. Thanks for the info. I really appreciate that input. I always suspected that the 'lump' on the reverse may have been a dolphin (fish) rather than damage to the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Valecrucis Valued Member United Kingdom 435 Posts	Posted 10/03/2014 9:23 pm You are welcome. The fish on your coin is a little different from the dolphin (you can compare it to my dolphin one above). If you look on that page on these coins, the address to which I posted above, you will find a slightly clearer example of your coin, showing the fish.. Report this Post to the Staff
