Details

This long series of pieces have a lot of variations. These can be on the design, on monograms or due to the manual manufacturing process. It has a large number of setbacks while the law remains unchanged. The Lion of Chersonese is a good example of Thracian coins. CHERRONESOS seems to have been located at the entrance to the Propontis on the Isthmus of the Cherchonese of Thrace. Thrace, geographical place where Bulgaria is today. Copy on an oval blank, well centered on the right, slightly off-center on the reverse. Beautiful gray patina with golden reflections. Cf: BMC 15, McClean 4093; SNG Berry 503
