<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2033895, member: 19463"]The other lesser option is small silver like this 0.7g litra of Gela (465-450 BC). Even these are not cheap but come in under the big silver. This is 1/12 of a drachm, 1/48 tetradrachm and probably about the same proportions in cost today as when they were in use. Perhaps they are harder to find nice since many, as mine, show surface problems suggesting they were individual finds rather than having been protected by a pot as we expect from the big ones. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]370426[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
