<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1680931, member: 42773&quot;]Every time I see these coins I have to wonder if they were made in order to be worth their weight in bronze. In general, smaller bronzes in ancient cultures were monetized to be worth more than their metal content, but why did these get so large? Were they only worth their weight in bronze, or were they monetized at a much higher value?</p><p><br /></p><p>The question isn&#039;t rhetorical - I&#039;m totally unfamiliar with the history of these coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
