Hello

 

I suggest the following new issuer to be added:

 

Naucratis 

The Greek emporium of Naucratis was founded under Pharaoh Amasis II (570-526 BC). It achieved the status of a polis likely around the mid-4th century BC. Its issue of a civic bronze coin in the Hellenistic period may be because Naucratis was the native city of Cleomenes, Alexander's chief administrator of Egypt.

country: egypte

Wiki: Q137721

aka: Naukratis

 

source: Lorber, volume I, part 2, page 2

 

The parent should probably a new section for Egypt under Ancient Greece.

 

It will also need a new currency:

 

Drachm

1 Drachm = 6 Obols = 12 Hemiobols

 

Thank you
