THRACE, ISTRIA, c. 500 BC, bronze "arrowhead coins," 36-42mm long.  These elongated lozenges, like unsharpened arrowheads, started appearing in the market about 10 years ago, but seem to have remained unpublished to date, at least in hardcover "references."  They crudely approximate arrowheads in shape, but real arrowheads of the same general time and place are much more carefully made, and are obviously designed to pierce.  "Everyone's" best guess at this time is that these were used as coins. "F," a-d @ $34.00 each,
e-f broken (for small change?) @ $7.00 each
