<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Teddydogno1, post: 2031965, member: 71226&quot;]Just received this TINY silver coin.&nbsp; Seller attributes it to 5th or 6th century BC and Ionia or Teos.&nbsp; My Googling shows that this is likely correct but a better ID would be welcome!&nbsp; Just love how very small this coin is.&nbsp; Can&#039;t imaging NOT losing it.&nbsp; How has it survived 2500 years?&nbsp; If you saw it on the floor out of context, you&#039;d think it was a small stone!</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver Fractional Obol (1/4 ?)</p><p>Ionia or Teos</p><p>5-6th C.
