Finds of coins of Pharos and Issa from the Lika region

Sa？etak This paper deals with the finds of coins minted by the Greek colonies on the central Dalmatian islands originating from the Lika region. These are individual finds from five Iapodean sites. One coin was found in archaeological reconnaissance, while the others are stray finds. The coins are kept in two public institutions and in a private collection. Two coins were minted in Pharos and three in Issa, including a very rare issue. Most of them have not yet been published. These coins can be dated to the 3rd century BC and belong to the oldest currencies circulating in Iapodea. They probably made their way there via Liburnia that was associated whith Iapodea with the same monetary process. These numismatic finds from the Lika region contribute to better understanding of the spatial distribution of coins from Pharos and Issa. They are an important indicator of cultural links between the indigenous communities from Lika and the Greek colonists on the central Dalmatian islands during the Hellenistic era
