Message:: [QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 5273511, member: 110350"]As tiny as mine is (10 mm.), it's still described as a diobol: Mysia, Kyzikos, AR Diobol, ca. 450-400 BCE. Obv. Forepart of boar left; to right, tunny [tuna] upwards. Rev. Head of roaring lion left within incuse square.  Seaby 3846 [Sear, David, Greek Coins and their Values, Vol. 2: Asia & Africa (Seaby 1979)]; Von Fritze II, Group II, No. 9 (p. 36) [Von Fritze, H., "Die Silberprägung von Kyzikos" in Nomisma IX (1914), at pp. 34 - 56]; BMC 15 Mysia 108-113 [Wroth, Warwick, A Catalog of the Greek Coins in the British Museum, Vol. 15, Mysia (London, 1892) at pp. 34-35]; SNG BnF 361-366 [Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum, France, Cabinet des Médailles, Bibliothéque Nationale, Vol. 5, Mysia (Paris 2001)]. 10 mm., 1.22 g., 6 h. [ATTACH=full]1220581[/ATTACH] I see no difference between this "diobol" and [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER]'s "trihemiobol" except for my lion being inside an incuse square; they seem to be around the same in weight and diameter.[/QUOTE]
