Gold cosons were distinctive coins produced in the regions of Thrace and Scythia during the late Hellenistic and early Roman periods, roughly from the 1st century BC through the 1st century AD. This ancient gold coin represents a well-known regional stater coin with a stunning Mint State condition from the NGC. Right now, Thracian or Sycthian Coson AV Stater Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each Thracian or Scythian Coson AV Stater comes in Mint State condition with a 5/5 strike condition and 4/5 surface condition. Generally speaking, these coins have a lustrous gold appearance with bright, uniform fields and fine visuals that deliver high-relief detail on the design. 5/5 strike grades indicate coins with a centered design, strong strike, and evenness across the strike. The 4/5 surface grade relates to qualities after the coin was struck, such as luster, corrosion, and scratches.
These coins represented a fascinating blend of Greek artistic influence and local tribal traditions, emerging as the native peoples of the Black Sea region adopted and adapted Mediterranean coinage practices. The term “coson” itself derives from the name that appears on many of these coins, though scholars continue to debate whether this refers to a specific ruler, a tribal leader, or perhaps a mint official.
The obverse of Thracian or Scythian Coson Gold Staters come with a depiction of three individuals in a procession, while the reverse features an eagle with a scepter. Around 54 BC, gold cosons were circulating primarily in the territories of modern-day Romania and surrounding regions, particularly in Dacia and areas inhabited by the Getae tribes. This period coincided with increasing Roman interest in the region, as Julius Caesar’s campaigns brought Roman power closer to the Black Sea frontier. The circulation of these gold coins facilitated trade between tribal kingdoms and Greek coastal cities along the Black Sea, while also serving as a store of wealth for local elites.
