Pentecontadrachm Pubblico Deposited
or fifty Drachm piece, is mentioned by Pollux. There was a gold coin of this value struck by Alexander the Great and by several of the Ptolemaic sovereigns of Egypt. It is better known to us by the more common name of Distater (q.v.), double Stater, or gold Tetradrachm.
