[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 3188080, member: 96635"]Thank you for the replies. And Doug that is an amazing looking set! I decided to do Ephesos, a very interesting city and the bee is very nice, it really stands out from other cities (like the owl for Athens). The only thing I am really suprised of is that Ephesos still made small fractions at the end of the classical period (and even in the Hellenistic age but I will leave that out). Now I can basically make 2 denomination sets, one with the coins from 500-420 BC and one with the period of 390-325 BC. I noticed that tetartemorion and hemitetartemorion were not mint anymore after 420BC and that tetradrachm started to be mint later on in the Classic age. The only difference is that the late Archaic/early Classic had squares on the reverse and the one later in the Classic age a double design [IMG]http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/ionia/ephesos/SNGCop_209.jpg[/IMG] Drachm 480-415 BC [IMG]http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/ionia/ephesos/Mattingly_527.jpg[/IMG] Drachm 394-295 BC [IMG]https://www.numisbids.com/sales/hosted/pecunem/018/image00229.jpg[/IMG] Civil 500-420 BC [IMG]https://thumbs.worthpoint.com/zoom/images3/1/0413/07/ionia-ephesos-silver-ar-diobol-bee_1_46b771a753e0b16f38f18b301ae3a7ba.jpg[/IMG] Diobol 390-330 BC I guess something I need to figure out, I also have no idea what the price difference is.
