<p>[QUOTE="dltsrq, post: 5236097, member: 75482"]In ACW, Mitchiner lists the expected weight of the Azilises coin at 8.50 gm and cites the denomination as "hemiobol" (4 chalkoi). The actual weights of the coins listed range from 8.25 to 6.85. Mitchiner apparently revised his own thinking between MIG (1975) and ACW (1978). Senior plays it safe with "unit" (and at least one fraction). When I see a single bronze type with varying weights and no clear clustering, I tend to think of a fiduciary issue with a nominal value in excess of intrinsic value, meaning denomination is independent of weight. I would simply call it "square AE unit".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
