THRACO-MACEDONIAN REGION, Berge. Circa 525-480 BC. AR Eighth Stater – Trihemiobol (8.5mm, 1.15 g). Satyr crouching right; [pellets around(?)] / Incuse square. Smith Group 1; Peykov A0100; HGC 3, 534; Liampi Exc2. Light porosity, a couple of marks on obverse. Near VF. Rare.

This coinage has previously been given to Lete and Siris, but S. Psoma has persuasively argued against both of these attributions, and suggests that the city of Berge is the most likely in light of the historical and numismatic evidence. (See S. Psoma, “The ‘Lete’ Coinage Reconsidered” in Agoranomia.)
