| 正面描述 | Three togated figures advancing right in procession: a Roman consul flanked by two lictors, each bearing a fasces over the shoulder, rendered in a style closely derived from the silver denarii of Marcus Junius Brutus (54 BC). The legend ΚΟΣΩΝ appears in the field, written in Greek characters. Two principal variants are known: one bearing a BR monogram to the left of the procession (RPC I#1701A), variously interpreted as an abbreviation for Brutus or as B(asile)r(eus) signifying 'King Koson'; and a second variant without the monogram (RPC I#1701B). The composition is strongly imitative of Roman Republican coinage in its iconographic program. |

The Koson staters occupy one of the more contested attribution debates in ancient numismatics. Most scholars now connect them to Koson, a Dacian or Thracian dynast operating in the power vacuum following Caesar's assassination in 44 BC, possibly with backing from Brutus — whose monogram appears on some specimens. Whether Koson was an independent ruler seeking Roman alliance or a client issuing coins under Brutus's direct patronage remains unresolved.
Hundreds of thousands of these staters reportedly surfaced from a single hoard found in Transylvania in the 19th century, flooding the market and complicating rarity assessments ever since.
