| The coins with the
cotyle (κοτύλη, double-handled vessel) on the reverse belong to the
period of the Odrysian kings and rulers in Thrace. The mint or ruler
associated with the abbreviated inscription ΑΔ has not been identified
yet. The following attributions have been proposed: - Unknown Thracian ruler (common). - Ruler Aderast (Αδεράστης, Αδέραστος ?) [Koychev & Moutafov, 2000]. - Mint of a settlement at the mouth of the river Adiras on the Propontis (Sea of Marmara) between the poleis Selymbria and Byzantion [Topalov, 2005]. An ancient settlement is known in this region by the name of Άθηρα on the river Αθήρας, hoewever, the Greek name of the settlement does not contain the letter Δ ! |
