What is their averge diameter? The restricted space for lettering on the reverse suggests drachms. Report this Post to the Staff

The fifth coin (a) is badly off-centre but is a drachm from Dyrrhachium, the city now known as Durres, Albania. The magistrate's name "MENISKOS" in Greek above the cow is the same as the one on this Wildwinds example. 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
