Echoing Roman Republican denarii in their imagery yet issued beyond Rome's mints, they likely served a Dacian ruler named Koson as instruments of prestige, alliance, and authority. Their unusually fine preservation today reinforces their role as ceremonial pieces rather than everyday currency\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cerberus Ancient Coins and Antiquities","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45563708604595,"sku":null,"price":3541.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.cerberuscoins.com\/products\/superb-ancient-greek-gold-coin-scythian-thracian-koson","provider":"Cerberus Ancient Coins and Antiquities","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
