@caitlinrgreen Quite a few Gk/post-Gk coins from Afgh/Pak, in fact: makes the Tenby drachma less anomalous (if anc losses). What a database!

@llewelyn_morgan Yes, that's very true--the Tenby coin clearly doesn't stand alone. And absolutely, it's an amazing resource! :)1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@caitlinrgreen An ex on database of the lovely elephant issue beneath, too, but they don't think it's an ancient losspic.twitter.com/QqKjaXRtbD

@llewelyn_morgan It's an interesting question--they may be assuming not ancient loss purely on basis of rarity of coins?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@caitlinrgreen Yes, likely so. That one's a popular collector's item--such a striking image--so maybe that's influencing their thinking too1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@llewelyn_morgan true, tho' was it as popular in 18-19C when they suggest lost? Also, seems v worn, would that appeal to early collectors??1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@caitlinrgreen I'm inclined to agree with you, needless to say. We're looking at lots of peculiarly careless C19 coin collectors otherwise.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
@llewelyn_morgan indeed! As test, I've done a map plotting all the post-medieval Indian tourist losses--pattern seems but different to me...
