[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2920979, member: 76194"]There is this one too which is tied for my oldest coin. I believe this is the earliest design for this type of coin, and Ive seen dates as early as 525 BCE for this version, which if accurate would make it my oldest. [ATTACH=full]707217[/ATTACH] Ionia, Kolophon AR Tetartemorion. Late 6th Century BCE. Obverse: Laureate head of Apollo facing. Reverse: TE monogram within incuse square. References: SNG Cop 133; SNG Kayhan 356. Size: 7mm, 0.25g. And you want tiny? Its tiny! I once lost it and after turning my entire office upside down looking for it for 2 hours I realized it was right on my desk the whole time. [ATTACH=full]707218[/ATTACH] Not my tiniest though...things get tinier for me with this 6mm beauty. [ATTACH=full]707219[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
