Item Details
Description
5th-3rd century BC. A group of flat sectioned bronze dolphins with detailing of the eye, dorsal fin and tail. 18 grams, 25-33mm (1 3/4"). Sear 1684. This unique type of coinage was cast in Olbia, in the Black Sea area of Thrace from the 5th to 3rd century BC; there are many varieties. The casting method employed was adopted by the Gallic Celts who originally came from this area; the dolphins were generally cast in a tree form connected by the tail, although some examples seem to have been cast individually.
