From an old Swiss collection.Few Greek coins, with the exception of the Athenian tetradrachms, have lived through the ages as prototype or starring example of Greek art, such as the Euainetos dekadrachms. Even during the time of minting these coins were produced in quantity, signed and unsigned. While probably not being used as common day currency, they were special objects, perhaps commemorating a military or athletic victory. Undoubtedly these were kept over long periods of time as being very special object, not to be melted or used as general currency.
