NELLE EMISSIONI CON LEGGENDA PIRAKOS, NON SI RISCONTRA NESSUN ERRORE NELLA ESSENZIALE DELINEAZIONE DEI SEGNI ALFABETICI, NESSUNA EMISSIONE O TRASPOSIZIONE LETTERALE.

CONSIDERAZIONI ANALOGHE ALLA LEGGENDA TOUTIOUPOUOS, VALGONO PER LE EMISSIONI CON LEGGENDA PIRAKOS, IN CUI LA CHIAREZZA DELLA LEGGENDA MOSTRA IL PIENO POSSESSO DI QUEL PARTICOLARE ALFABETO.

GLI INCISORI DEI CONII SAPEVANO ESATTAMENTE COSA SCRIVEVANO, NON IMITAVANO E SI SERVIVANO DI UN ALFABETO AD ESSI BEN NOTO.

SI TRATTA QUINDI DI EMISSIONI BATTUTE DA GENTI CHE AVEVANO IN USO TALE ALFABETO, NON IMITAZIONI DA PARTE DEI POPOLI CUI NON FOSSE FAMILIARE L’ALFABETO LEPONZIO.

IMPORTANT

ALL THE DRACHMS AND EMIDRACHMS ON THIS WEBSITE ARE THE BEST EXAMPLES THAT I COULD FOUND.

THE MOST OF THESE ARE IN GOOD CONDITION.

OWNERSHIP OF MOST OF THE DRACHM IS OF MUSEUMS, SOME ARE PUBLISCHED IN THE AUCTIONS AND ONLY A FEW OF THEM BELONGS TO PRIVATE.

IN ORDER TO EXCLUDE ANY DOUBT RELATING TO DRACMS AND EMIDRACHMS OF PADANIA CELTIC (NORTH ITALY), I HAVE DECIDED TO PUT ALSO DRACHMS OF LOW PRESERVATION WITH SOME PROBLEMS DUE TO IMPORTANT FACTORS AS CORROSION, OXIDATION, EXFOLIATION ETC., CAUSED BY THE TIME AND IN PARTICULAR WAY BY THE VARIOUS TYPES OF LAND WITH FEATURES OF STRONG OR LOW ACIDITY, CAUSED ALSO FROM FERTILIZERS AND CHEMICAL POLLUTANTS.

I HAVE DECIDED TO ADD THESE LOW PRESERVATION DRACMS BECAUSE NORMALLY WHEN DRACHMS OF VERY HIGH PRESERVATION ARE SEEN IT’S EASY TO GIVE INCORRECT ASCRIPTION WITHOUT ANY FONDATION.

IDENTICAL DRACMS OF THE SAME COINAGE PRESETED IN THIS WEBSITE OR THAT THERE WILL BE INSERTED THEY WILL BE NO MORE THEN TWO COPIES.

ALTHOUGH IDENTICAL (FROM THE SAME COINAGE), THE TWO COPIES WILL BE DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWING:

THE FIRST DRACM WITH THE FEATURE OF HIGHT PRESERVATION:

FROM BB: FINE+ TO SPL: EXTREMELY FINE.

THE SECOND WITH THE FEATURE OF LOW PRESERVATION:

FROM M: POOR FINE TO qB: ALMOST FINE. TO B: FINE.

THE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER OF THE DRACM WILL BE:

No. 889 A IDENTICAL TO No. 889

EXAMPLE:

SEE THE DRACM No. 889 IN THE CENOMANI SECTION.
