Summary/Abstract: So-called „Sindian” coins have long been a subject of vigorous debate among researchers interested in the history and numismatics of the Kimmerian Bosporos.These coins, stamped with various obverse and reverse designs, are essentially Greek in nature; yet a lot of specialists attribute them to the Sindian tribe that inhabited the Taman Peninsula and its vicinities. According to this line of thought, the appearance of coinage proves the existence of the Sindian state. Other scholars believe that the „Sindian” coins were struck by some Greek city of the Kimmerian Bosporos, for example – by SindianHarbour.
