@Smojo, do you have any links to articles on the fractional fanams? I can only find pages where people doubt their authenticity, and pages selling them.

 

Tetartemorion. Ram's head right/ lion's head; 6mm. .20 g. Seller identified it as Caria Halicarnasus, c. 380 BC.

 

This isn't my smallest coin, but I don't post this little Hercules from Pisidia very often, so I'll give him some attention.

 

My smallest coin arrived today
