This unique type of coinage was cast in Olbia, in the Black Sea area of Thrace from the 5th to 3rd century BC; there are many varieties; the casting method employed was adopted by the Gallic Celts who originally came from this area; the dolphins were generally cast in a "tree" form connected by the tail, although some examples seem to have been cast individually. -
