<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David@PCC, post: 25862906, member: 80556&quot;]Those letter denominations are completely arbitrary and should be a loose guide line at best. The only official bronze denominations are chalkous, obol/diobol, Dichalkon, Hemichalkon, and Tetrachalkon. I believe the letter denominations were a way to attempt to make a standard to measure all the different sizes. Unfortunately this system does not account for size changes over the 250 year history of the empire and the fact the bronze coins were not all made to strict standards like precious metal coins were.</p><p>The only time I list a to e denomination is that is how it is listed in the SC catalog, and makes it a little easier to find sometimes. Honestly I wouldn&#039;t bother listing the denomination unless it&#039;s one of the known Greek ones. Usually ae will suffice.</p><p>Your coin is still denomination B in their catalog but it&#039;s size has changed from early empire B&#039;s, which is why it&#039;s moot to even list it in my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
