    Hi there. I believe brother Bing meant to say he has drachms and decadrachms only. No Tets, nur zehn drachmen.

  9. I know some Classical Sicilian Greeks have round legends; but they always fall between the head of Arethusa and Dolphins. Not sure if that counts. Refer to @Carthago 's. It even appears his tet's engraver used a compass of sorts to apply a circle; where he could follow with the greek characters, accordingly.

    Ideas like this take some R&D centuries.

    Also Velia in Italy but this is after Alexander.
