<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8238023, member: 19463&quot;]Strange is our obsession with these tiny coins where we consider a hemiobol to be &#039;fat&#039;.&nbsp; True, we could have a contest for the most interesting collection limited by a total weight of ten grams.&nbsp; My 0.2g ram/lion coin below is from Kebren in Troas. Many cities issued similar types and relatively few place legends on the tiny coins. It is no wonder that we have so many attributed to &#039;Uncertain&#039;. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1449615[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>We have to accept some coins a bit lower grade than would be popular in tetradrachms.&nbsp; While several times too heavy for this thread, my 0.8g Syracuse octopus gained its place as my smallest coin with a spelled out (unabbreviated) Syrakosion obverse legend rather than the more usual Syra.&nbsp; At least that legend will not be challenged by new studies reorganizing the uncertain issues.&nbsp; Somewhere on CT is a discussion of &#039;most letters&#039; on &#039;smallest flan&#039;.&nbsp; These are small, very small. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1449622[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
