Le trésor de Kreshpan (Albanie)

The Kreshpan hoard, found in the territory of Illyrian Apollonia, includes staters and half-staters, with the pattern of the suckling cow, minted by the greek cities Korkyra, Dyrrachion and Apollonia and by the illyrian king Monounios, together with quarters of staters, with the pattern of Heraídes, minted by Dyrrachion. The ancient testi- monia about Monounios allow to date the burial around 280 B.C. The hoard leds to a reexamination of the chronology of the coinages minted by the Greek colonies in Illyria during the IV and the beginning of the III Cent. There are no drachmas with the same pattern, and consequently these coins were minted only after 280 B.C.
