And above were imitation of Thrace, Dionysos Tetradrachm, 150-120 BC, Thasos, With clear Head of Dionysus and clear Naked Hercules, with scripts : HRAKLEOUS - SΩTHROS -ΘASIΩN - ΔΙ (monogram). To be more clear for comparison Imitation coins, like Thasos, appeared during the Greek period due to economic and political factors. These coins were often produced by neighboring regions or tribes to facilitate trade with Greek cities, taking advantage of the trusted weight and design of well-known coinage. Additionally, they were sometimes used to bypass economic restrictions, maintain local autonomy, or support military and mercantile activities. Thasian imitations, for example, were widely minted in regions like Thrace and the Danube area to integrate into Greek trade networks.

Note: imitation doesn’t mean fake its mean to use others coins styles in issuing local coins by tribes or to be circulated in a certain area .
