<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 2039572, member: 15445&quot;]I swear that the coins of Thasos (and some other places) were commemorative coins used as advertising tokens.&nbsp; Back in the day when you received a Thasos coin, it basically said &quot;come to Thasos &amp; have a good time&quot;.&nbsp; For gosh sakes you have Dionysus on some coins advertising the wine harvest, wine making, &amp; ritual merry making.&nbsp; Then you have the satyr &amp; nymph coins which look like an invitation for more merry making.&nbsp; Was the place a hot vacation spot or what?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]372129[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]372128[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
