Michael, it&#039;s again not clear what it is you&#039;re arguing or why. Most ancient coins as you know don&#039;t have marks of value on them (denominational marks), but they are marked by the governmental authority who issued them, which certifies them to have a definite exchange value. Take one of thousands of possible examples, the Athenian Owl tetradrachm. It wasn&#039;t marked &quot;tetradrachm&quot; on it, but it was marked by the Athenian issuing authority, both pictorially and verbally, and it was thus universally recognized to be a tetradrachm, to be made of fine silver, to have a weight of about 17.2 grams, to be of definite exchange value, and to be a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
