Rosen 314 600-550 B.C. 2.71 grams.10mm [ATTACH=full]983686[/ATTACH]Back in 1993 I bought this coin and I thought given the crudity of its design it should be among the oldest coins ever produced. Later a few years ago I saw one with a flattened reverse a feature not seen until partway through the reign of Kriosos. I now have to revise my thinking on this coin to the dating I have proposed above. These very early electrum coins still contain many surprises.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
