Hi Leo! Bronze coinage was born precisely in Greek Sicily, last year I promised to upload a video on that subject. I will do it soon.

Great video! My oldest coin in my collection is a bronze Sicilian (Syracuse) coin : )

This is a very informative video - thanks for posting it. I recently purchased 2 books on the coinage of Magna Graecia/Sicily, and am looking forward to adding this genre to my collection.

Did you use renaissance wax on the first coin?

Greek coins are no more expensive than Roman coins (excluding LRBs). Plenty of affordable stuff out there.

Is a bronze coin entirely fiduciary money?

Very interesting video! You mentioned these coins are a more reasonable price; what approximately would that price range be? Thank you!

I wish their bronze coins had somewhat a higher relief, that patina on the first coin is beautiful!
