[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 26100369, member: 87809"]There seems to be no agreement on what the denomination is called; some numismatists call it chalkous, others call it dichalkon, hemiobol, hemiobelion,which is very confusing. If you can point me to where I can find how the denominations are called, please let me know. This coin is from a multiple lot; not in a good condition, but it was fun attributing it. It's always interesting to get multiple lots and try to attribute the coins. The green spots are hard, they don't come of so it doesn't seem to be BD. AE Chalkous(?) 0.84 g RPC III, 5766; Dattari (Savio) 7862; Emmett 1176; BMC Alexandria, 891; Ob.: Laureate bust of Hadrian to r., slight paludamentum on l. shoulder. At right letter I. Border of dots. Rev.: Three grain ears bound together; L-IΔ (date) across fields. [ATTACH=full]1663874[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1663875[/ATTACH] Please share your tiny chalkous (or whatever they are called) or anything you like to share:)[/QUOTE]
