Commentary
Les monnaies divisionnaires sont en fait beaucoup plus rares que les drachmes. Nous sommes bien en présence d’une trihémiobole d’étalon éginétique.
Divisional coins are in fact much rarer than drachmas. We are indeed in the presence of a trihemiobolus of aeginetic standard

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).
