This page is for coins that do not fit into any particular Region in Asia Minor, or perhaps fit into more than one.

These sections contain all of the strange coins that cannot be attributed to a particular region, and are mostly a mystery.

Achaemenid Kings of Persia
The Persian empire virtually covered the entire Asia Minor at one point in time. The King of Kings (Darius I) divided the regions into satrapies and exacted a tribute based on size and importance.

Satraps and Governors
The Persian overlords appointed Satraps (Governors) to administer their affairs in Asia Minor. The King did not trust these Satraps (rightfully so, as they constantly revolted), and would send out spies called "eye of the King" to report back.

Countermarks
In the ancient times, coins circulated freely and would end up in distant locations. At times, the local authorities would countermark a foreign coin with a local insignia to indicate that it was approved for local use (i.e. that it was of good metal and not fake).
