A Group of Unknown Coins in Antalya Museum

Abstract

This small collection of bronze coins forms an uniform group and probably represents a small hoard, since all of the coins are in a similar condition and have the same patina, although two examples are noticeably more worn on the obverse (cat. nos. 1 and 5). They were purchased as a single lot by the Antalya Archaeological Museum from a villager called Rasim Aynur in 1995. The coins were recorded by the present authors in the spring of 1997 as part of a project aimed at studying die numismatic collections in the museum.
