Replica - Koson

The Koson stater is one of ancient numismatics' more stubborn attribution puzzles — the name likely refers to a Dacian or Thracian ruler, but no independent historical record confirms who Koson was or when, precisely, he ruled. The originals are struck in high-purity gold and appear to have been produced somewhere in the Carpathian region during the first century BC, possibly with bullion connected to Roman payments or looted Macedonian coin stocks. This aluminium replica carries none of that weight, literally or otherwise.
