<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikebell, post: 7920729, member: 118382&quot;]There are some pretty small ancient coins - with weight accuracy about 2x above that which was possible in the 17thC (c0.2g).&nbsp; Lost techniques no doubt, since 1/96th staters are half that, and reasonably accurate.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is a hexas (1/6th litra) of Gela - but weights in at 0.06g, similar to the emissions from other Greek cities in Sicily.&nbsp; This is intrinsically half what it should be.&nbsp; They also survive at full weight to complicate it further!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1368401[/ATTACH] </p><p>Ex CNG[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
