Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 08/11/2009 10:05 pm I was in a coin shop yesterday and saw a coin exactly like that one. Can't remember what it was identified as, though. let's see if I can find out. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 08/11/2009 10:26 pm Ah, didn't take as long as I thought. Cherronesus, an ancient Greek city of uncertain location somewhere on what is now the Gallipoli peninsula, in European Turkey. It is believed by some to be another name for the ancient city of Kardia, situated at the base of the peninsula. The coin is listed in the Sear catalogue of Greek coins as number 1602. Example on Wildwinds. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

costi_talentdemilano New Member Romania 8 Posts	Posted 08/12/2009 04:20 am thanks,but the coin is autenthic or a copy,i' m not sure? weight is 2.39 g Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 08/12/2009 07:46 am The weight is correct for a hemidrachm (the "book weight" for Sear #1602 is 2.4 grams). If it's a fake, it's good enough to fool me from a photograph. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

reidgold New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 11/13/2009 12:13 am This is indeed a Cherronesos hemidrachm, but it's among the most common of all ancient Greek coins, not a rare coin, and not rare either in this condition either but very common.
