Youroukova (1976) believes that the tetradrachm issues belong to Cotys
II(VI) of the Astaei because he had ample availability of silver. The
mint of these coins is not very clear. Based on the finds and the
"barbarised" style, Youroukova localises the mint for the coins with
the inscription ΚΟTΥOΣ / XAPAKΤΗΡ in the Odessos region. Stylistic
characteristics of some coins with the inscription ΗΡΑΚΛΕΟΥΣ / ΣΩΤΗΡΟΣ
/ ΘΡΑΚΩΝ indicate greek origin (SHH 113) and could have been struck in
Thasos. Others show clear celtic style engravings where dots have been
used for image details (SHH 1392) indicating a mint in the
north-eastern regions of Thrace. |
