<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JeromeLS, post: 784435, member: 7867&quot;]It&#039;s debatable whether Lydian/Persian coinage can really be called &quot;Greek&quot;, although the style is very clearly influenced by Greek coinage. The first coinage of Greek proper was of Aegina, around 620 B.C.E, although this is simply an estimate based on archaeological findings. It&#039;s less clear when Greek coinage ends: Diocletian&#039;s currency reforms are a good point for the issues of Greece itself, but the hellenic issues of Bactria (west India) and so forth also have to be taken into account. Other coinages gradually became less Greek in style: for classification purposes, anything after 450 C.E would probably not be considered ancient.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
