Notes:Jul 24, 10 - This is a small but important coin for any ancient Greek coin collection. It is one of the more familiar coins on the market at any time. The coin is also from Thrace, one of the major Greek states of the Classical Era. It is also believed to be minted between 400-450 B.C (that means at its very oldest, it could be about 2,460 years old!).

I originally acquired it from the seller alexandriacoins on eBay December 20, 2005.
