But there are a lot of weight standards, see: <a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Greek%20Coin%20Denominations" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Greek%20Coin%20Denominations" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Greek Coin Denominations</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And for Greek bronze coins we often do not know, for coins from Magna Graecia the denominations are sometimes represented with dots, for example 1 dot is onkia, 2 dots is dionkion etc. Also sporadically coins from other parts of the Greek world show denominations for example ΧΑ (chalkous), ΧΒ (dichalkon) and ΧΔ (tetrachalkon) (this specific example is used for a series of coins in the Seleukid Empire).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
