Archaeological description
Krapivina 2003: Former Collection of P.O. Burackov, State Historical Museum, Moscow? Poor state of preservation. Weight 12.65 g. On the obverse there is the image of the head of Demeter in profile l. similar to the representations on the local silver coins; the reverse has a dolphin l. with the inscription ΑΡΙΣΤΟ above it and ΟΛΒΙΟ beneath. The weight of the object, taking into account wear and tear, corresponds to 1/32 of the Euboic-Attic mina of standard 100.
