Commentary
Les rédacteurs de la fiche signalent que cet exemplaire pèse 0,13 g et que les autres connus se placent entre 0,18 g et 0,25 g. Il se pourrait que l’exemplaire de la collection BCD fût un hemitetartemorion, la plus petite dénomination monétaire grecque frappée.
The authors of the sheet report that this specimen weighs 0.13 g and that the others known are between 0.18 g and 0.25 g. It is possible that the example from the BCD collection was a hemitetartemorion, the smallest Greek monetary denomination minted
