Exhibit A Finds Demonstrating that Ancient Coins Struck in Turkish Mints Were Items of International Commerce The Inventory of Greek Coin Hoards (“IGCH”) and the Coin Hoards Series (Volumes I-X) record coin hoards found in both official and unofficial archaeological excavations.1 The below information establishes that ancient coins from Turkish mints have been found in substantial numbers outside of Turkey. The countries where such coins circulated in ancient times can be gleaned from find spots in Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, Great Britain, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Italy (Sardinia and Sicily), Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Macedonia, Palestine, Pakistan, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and the former Yugoslavia. In addition to the English Language IGCH and Coin Hoards, the French Language Tresors series as well as numismatic articles also help establish that ancient coins from Turkish mints travelled from the confines of modern day Turkey in quantity. Finally, the information gleaned from the UK’s Portable Antiquity Scheme also shows that Roman and Byzantine coins from Turkey made their way to far off England and Wales in ancient times. I. IGCH A review of M. Thompson, O. Mørkholm, and C. Kraay, An Inventory of Greek Coin Hoards (New York, 1973) demonstrates the following. a. Coins of the Archaic Period IGCH shows 11 hoards including coins of mints in Turkey found in 5 other countries as follows: Greece IGCH 7 (Cyzicus, Miletus, Caria) Bulgaria IGCH 689 (Cyzicus, Lydia) Egypt 1 IGCH, Coin Hoards and other numismatic publications have some significant limitations as resources. First, they records hoards, not single finds. Thus, they seriously undercount small denomination bronze coins that are less likely to be hoarded. Second, not all hoards that have been reported have been recorded. Third, a substantial number of listed hoards record issuing authorities, but not necessarily mints. We have also listed such Greek hoards which possibly contain Turkish mint coins based on the known mints of the issuing authority. Fourth, the exact find spots of many hoards is unknown. This also leads to an undercount of coins circulating far from where they were made. Fifth, many of the hoards are only partly recorded. Thus, there probably is a significant undercount of Turkish mint coins in such hoards. Finally, while the Coin Hoard series updates the earlier IGCH, it is unclear if the all the coin hoards in that volume are also included in the Coin Hoards series.
