Seuthes I (424-405 p.n.e.) lub Seuthes II (405-386 p.n.e.)
Peter s. 76 = Topalov 71 = Youroukova 26 = Mouchmov 5688 = Traité IV 1290 = de Luynes 1807

Tylko dwa znane egzemplarze, jeden w Bibliotheque Nationale w Paryżu i jeden w prywatnej kolekcji.

Srebrne monety w imieniu Seuthes są niezwykle rzadkie. Wiadomo, że istnieje tylko około sześciu sztuk w imieniu Seuthes I / II. Najbardziej kompleksowe i najnowsze badanie można znaleźć w Peter, s. 76-88. W swoim badaniu monet trackich z 1976 r. Youroukova argumentowała przeciwko autentyczności tego typu didrachm, ale odwróciła swoje potępienie w późniejszym artykule: Y. Youroukova, "Le monnayage du souverain thrace Seuthès II" w Kraay-Mørkholm Essays, s. 317-21. Podczas gdy większość autorów przypisuje tę kwestię Seuthesowi I, dowody są dalekie od rozstrzygających. Znaleziska wszystkich srebrnych monet w imieniu Seuthesa praktycznie nie istnieją, więc dane stylistyczne i metrologiczne dostarczają jedynych wskazówek do datowania, a te mogą jedynie sugerować datę emisji w okresie od połowy V do połowy IV wieku pne (patrz Peter, s. 78).

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Seuthes I (424-405 BC) or Seuthes II (405-386 BC)
Peter p. 76 = Topalov 71 = Youroukova 26 = Mouchmov 5688 = Traité IV 1290 = de Luynes 1807

Only two known pieces, one in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and one in a private collection.

The silver coinage in the name of Seuthes is extremely rare. Only around six pieces in the name of Seuthes I / II known to exist. For the most comprehensive and most recent survey, see Peter, pp. 76-88. In her 1976 study of the Thracian coinage, Youroukova argued against the authenticity of this didrachm type, but reversed her condemnation in a later article: Y. Youroukova, “Le monnayage du souverain thrace Seuthès II” in Kraay-Mørkholm Essays, pp. 317-21. While most authors attribute this issue to Seuthes I, the evidence is far from conclusive. The find evidence for all the silver coins in Seuthes’ name is practically nonexistent, so stylistic and metrological data provide the only clues for dating, and these can only suggest a date of issue in the period of the mid-5th to mid-4th century BC (see Peter, p. 78).
