Some considerations on Dacian gold coins of Koson type in the light of compositional analyses

Abstract

This paper presents the results of analyses performed on 81 gold coins of Koson type found in Romanian public collections. The composition of the Koson type coins was compared to the composition of 42 Greek gold coins issued between the 4th and 1st centuries BC, three Roman gold coins issued in the second half of the 1st century BC, and a Lysimachus type - tetrastater” from the medieval hoard discovered at Baia Mare (Romania). Based on the results, we developed a different hypothesis as to the origin of the gold and the places of issue of the Koson type coins were discussed.
