THRACO-MACEDONIAN REGION, Berge. Circa 525-480 BC. AR Eighth Stater – Trihemiobol (9mm, 0.97 g). Satyr crouching right; two pellets flanking / Quadripartite incuse square divided diagonally. Smith Group 7; Peykov A0110; HGC 3, 536. Lightly toned, typical granularity. VF.
From the Judy Day Frink Collection, purchased from Owl, Ltd. (John Barton).
This coinage has previously been given to Lete and Siris, but S. Psoma has persuasively argued against both of these attributions, and suggests that the city of Berge is the most likely in light of the historical and numismatic evidence. (See S. Psoma, "The 'Lete' Coinage Reconsidered" in Agoranomia.)
