<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pavlos, post: 7803150, member: 96635&quot;]Not sure about the attribution, as far as I know these are attributed under Mylasa, atleast SNG Kayhan does so.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the Archaic and early Classical times the Attic standard was not well spread at all. There were a lot of different weight standards. Asia Minor was during that time under Persian authority. The coins were struck on the Persic standard, which was heavier than the Attic standard. An Attic standard tetartemorion would weight around 0.18g, hence why these weight more.</p><p><br /></p><p>I cannot judge about your fraction without seeing it first, I would not be that quickly to say it is a hemitetartemorion. It could be in rough shape and therefore lost some silver weight over the 2500 years. Or it is just an outlier and the minter made a mistake with the weight back in the ancient times. I am atleast not aware of a published example of that type as a hemitetartemorion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
