Title: Unknown Thracomacedonian tribe coin need more information
Post by: Basileus Nikephoros Antialcidas on October 02, 2018, 08:23:41 am

Hello to everyone! I just bought in a low price this coin. I know it is not I a very good condition but I was quite interested because I have never seen a coin like this one. After a research I came in the same conclusion as the seller that it is an unknown type struck by a Thracomacedonian tribe. Do you guys have anything more on this coin, are there more information about it? Thank you all in advance for your time!

Size and weight?  It's important for these small fractions.

Size and weight fits this Tetartemorion , similar to Pekkas Hemiobol:

Description mentions a quadripartite incuse square, athough it's not clearly visible on this example.

I have seen these attributed to Akanthos.
