<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NewStyleKing, post: 4576163, member: 106483&quot;]In Thracian coin hoards Twins of Dioscuri, Prow, Tripod and Eagle on Thunderbolt Athens New Styles are found in proportionately high numbers compared to other New Styles in such hoards. Francoise De Callatay and Andrew Meadows categorise them as &quot;over represented&quot; types. They all come from a tight consecutive ordering of middle period New Styles in the 120&#039;s BC as ordered by Meadows in the Thasos/New Style hoard 1996 (CH 9). Why so we don&#039;t know but it is reasoned that the Romans , called on Athens to pay Thracian mercenaries-or else? These coins are found in the Balkans well worn that means they circulated a lot before being buried.</p><p><br /></p><p>c 126/5 BC Eagle on Thunderbolt </p><p>c 125/4&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Tripod</p><p>c 124/3&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Prow</p><p>c 123/2&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Twins of Dioscuri</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/23982/NOW_BOTH_FULMEN~0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Athens New Style Tetradrachm c 126/5 BC</b></p><p>Obs : Athena Parthenos right in tri-form helmet</p><p>16.65gm 32mm Thompson issue 39</p><p>Thompson catalogue Obs 450 : Rev b (not in plates)</p><p>Rev : ΑΘΕ ethnic</p><p>Owl standing on overturned panathenaic amphora</p><p>on which month mark Ε control ΗΡ below</p><p>3 magistrates : EPIGENE SOSANDROS ELIODO</p><p>LF symbol : Eagle on Thunderbolt</p><p>All within a surrounding olive wreath</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/23982/NOW_BOTH_TRIPOD~0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Athens New Style Tetradrachm c 125/4 BC</b></p><p>Obs : Athena Parthenos right in tri-form helmet</p><p>29mm 16.67g Thompson issue 40</p><p>Thompson catalogue : 470f</p><p>Rev : ΑΘΕ ethnic</p><p>Owl standing on overturned panathenaic amphora on</p><p>which month mark Θ control ΜΕ below</p><p>3 magistrates : POLEMON ALKETES ARIS</p><p>LF symbol : Tripod</p><p>All within a surrounding olive wreath</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/23982/NOW_BOTH_PROW~0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Athens New Style tetradrachm c 124/3 BC</b></p><p>Obs : Athena Parthenos in tri-form helmet</p><p>16.81g 30mm Thompson issue (new) 41</p><p>Thompson catalogue : 532</p><p>Rev : ΑΘΕ ethnic</p><p>Owl standing on overturned panathenaic amphora on</p><p>which month mark Ε control ΣΦ below</p><p>3 magistrates : KAPAIX EPGOKLE KLE</p><p>RF symbol : Prow of Ship</p><p>All within a surrounding olive wreath</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/23982/NOW_BOTH_DIOSCURI~0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Athens New Style tetradrachm c 123/2 BC</b></p><p>Obs : Athena Parthanos right in tri-form helmet</p><p>16.23g 30mm Thompson issue (new) 42</p><p>Thompson catalogue: 479g</p><p>REV : ΑΘΕ ethnic</p><p>Owl standing on overturned panathanaic amphora</p><p>on which month mark Δ control ΣΦ below</p><p>3 magistrates : MIKION EURYKLEI BOYKATTHES</p><p>RF symbol : Dioscuri</p><p>All surrounded by an olive wreath[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
