Historical background
PARISII / DUROCASSES, Unspecified (Area of Paris)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
This series of drachma has long been represented and known by only a few examples, often unique and without provenance. In 2012, a small set from the "Haute vallée de l'Eure" was published, allowing us to renew our knowledge of this atypical and still very rare coinage..
