Phanes Trite
« on: July 28, 2016, 08:40:10 pm »
For those interested in the finer points of early electrum coinage the top coin below shows an example of the Phanes trite currently on offer.
The point is that the reverse is described as type D, but according to this reference:

the bottom coin below shows a typical delta (= D presumably) type reverse.
Given that the obverse of the top coin is Type A, I'm guessing the reverse on this coin is actually type B, although I don't have an example of this to show you.
