I got a few new coins at a local coin show this past weekend. Here's the first one. Anyone care to ID it?

The detail is pretty nice for this type I think. I like the way the T goes off the coin edge.

I wouldn't even know where to begin with this coin. I assume it's Greek?

I think it's an Istros, Thrace AE, with the spoked wheel and IΣT--nice one!

Yep, I figured you'd get this one DVC. Especially since you just posted a nice coin from Istros, IΣT...

This one is....Istros,Thrace, 5th century BC, AE13, 1.4 grams. Wheel with four spokes / IΣT.

These were cast coins, not struck and not very big. I don't know if you still call it flan when they are cast?

I was thinking it was an obol or hemiobol. Interesting coin.
