Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on new discoveries of Daorsi coins found in the area of the Illyrian city of Daorso(...) in Ošanjići near Stolac, and in the vicinities of Gacko and Pljevlja. Specifically, these are nine specimens of bronze coins whose style, iconography and measurements are almost identical to those of previous finds. On the reverse of two specimens, in addition to the inscription ΔΑΟΡΣΩΝ, for the first time we also find the inscription ΔΑΟΕΡΣΩΝ. This new variant is of particular significance for the further study of Daorsi monetary activity and Illyrian coinage from the Hellenistic period.
