<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 7936434, member: 44316&quot;]I find it interesting that Greek cities usually issued coins of different denominations with the same design. Anyone can tell a tetradrachm from a drachm by size, but can you tell a Lydian fraction of 0.24 grams from one with the same design but twice its weight? Both are tiny!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1372976[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Persian. Lydia. 5 mm!&nbsp; Tiny! 0.24 grams.

Klein &quot;Time of Darius&quot; 758, plate 25 for type but that one is 0.34 grams. Others in Klein have the same design but weights of 0.14, 0.44, 1.36, an 1.71 grams. His two siglos pieces are 5.14 and 5.24 grams.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
