Archaic Period

The earliest Greek coinage, representing the period when states began to imprint designs on pieces of metal of a standardized weight. This period represents the origins of money, and the designs feature artwork of a captivating Archaic style, characterized by more simplistic, geometric forms that reveal a sublime elegance. Archaic coinage began on the Aegean coast of Asia Minor around 650 BC, both in the Lydian Kingdom and in the Greek cities settled by colonists from the mainland.
