The historical region of Mysia includes a variety of landscapes and numerous mints.
The coinages show close links with those in the Troas and other adjacent regions.
Cyzicus and Pergamum were very productive mints in this area.
August means vacation, finally time to devote yourself to the very small, seemingly irrelevant motifs sometimes found on coins — the symbols. These small images are often found on the edge of the primary motif on Greek coins and are interpreted with a constant coin image in such a way that, like letters and monograms, they serve to differentiate emissions from one another.
The Coin of this Month is presented by Angela Berthold
