<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pavlos, post: 7838571, member: 96635&quot;]Thank you! Very nice and centered stater as well.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Very nice examples, your stater is from the later, more realistic and classical style, those are great and really artistic.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Thasian Epeiros had not only gold, but also a lot of silver, from there they got most of the silver for their staters. But indeed, there was a huge amount of gold as well and I really do not understand why Thasos did not mint any gold or EL coins at all. Perhaps it was all exported to Asia Minor, atleast that is what I think.</p><p>The mines at the Thasian Epeiros are called the &#039;Scapté Hylé&#039; mines by the way. Later on it was conquared by Philip II and renamed to Phillippoi. Philip did use the gold for his own wallet and minted these amazing and beautiful staters:</p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/10102034.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Great, I love the dolphin designs on the Thasian coins</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you and you have beautiful pieces yourself!
