Fish Money Público Deposited
A name given to a variety of copper coins issued at Olbia, in Sarmatia, which resemble a fish in shape. Authorities differ, however, whether these "fishes," as they are called were true coins or only commercial tokens used in the fish trade, for which Olbia was famous. Conf. Babelon (pp. 8 and 83), and von Sallet, in Zeitschrift fur Numismatik, 1883 (x. 144).
