<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TTerrier, post: 3217661, member: 76835&quot;]I think I have a larger version of Doug&#039;s three bulls coin.&nbsp; This was from CNG Auction 385 Lot 243 if you want the complete attribution as they have it (they assigned it to Caria uncertain Mint &quot;D&quot;).&nbsp; It was described as a tetartemorion to the Milesian weight standard.&nbsp; From what I can see online the Milesian system was based on a stater weight of 14.10g, so a tetartemorion would be 1/96 of that or about 0.15g which does match up to the weight of Doug&#039;s coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>However the classification of mine never made sense to me given its weight of 0.38g - I thought it might be 1/48 of a stater which would make it a trihemitetartemorion (or 3/8 of an obol).&nbsp; To be honest I liked it because it had three bulls on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]837017[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>6.5 mm 0.38g[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
