Sažetak
The purpose of this paper is to present the Focida coin which was found in the year 2000 on the hill-fort Ošanići (Gradina) near Stolac. This rare coin minted in bronze during the period between 371 and 357 BC, weighing only 1,78 g and measuring only 13 mm in diameter, with the figure of Athena on its front side and with a laurel wreath bearing the sign Φ on its reverse side, along with the other coins found on this site, bears witness to significant, particularly mercantile ties between Daors and the Hellenic world dating as far back as the IVth century BC. At this point in history such ties were exceptionally rare because they are without doubt more the consequence of general rather than direct contacts between the two centers.
