Coinage in the Ancient Greek World – International and Common Coins

The use of coins spread in the then known world via the Greek colonies in Magna Grecia and the Euxine Pontus. The tetradrachm of the Athenian Democracy as well as the silver tetradrachm and the gold stater of Alexander the Great were the international coins during the Classical and Hellenistic periods due to their wide distribution. Common coinages issued by various political, military and religious alliances in the Greek world were of limited circulation.
