Commentary
Variante avec l’aigle volant à droite. Les monnaies divisionnaires sont en fait beaucoup plus rares que les drachmes, en particulier l’hémiobole.
Variant with the eagle flying right. Divisional coins are actually much rarer than drachmas, especially the hemiobolus

Historical background
THRACE - ISTROS
(4th - 2nd century BC)
Istros, a Milesian colony, located equidistant from Callatis and the mouths of the Danube, is in Lower Moesia. The Greek name gave its Latin name to the Danube (Danuvius). The two juvenile heads, comparable to the Dioscuri (Gemini), represent the mouths of the Danube (Ister).
