<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1968967, member: 19463&quot;]Some of you would guess I would post this one.&nbsp; It is an obol or 1/6 drachm which would then make it 1/160th of the OP distater.&nbsp; Obols are not as common as the larger silver because they were used up rather than hoarded by the potfull.&nbsp; I suspect this coin was spent a hundred times for every transaction involving a tetradrachm which was a lot of money in the day. Mine only weighs 0.66g compared to the theoretical 0.7 but it has a lot of porosity.&nbsp; Finding one in mint state will be hard.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]348983[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Arados mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
