Notes on an ideal Hellenic coin. For a contribution to Plato, Leg. V 742a-c – The colony of Laws, described by Plato in his last dialogue, represents a concrete attempt to create a new city. In this sense, the philosopher proposes a new economic policy, at the basis of which the idea of a currency that acts as a currency for all the activities within the polis is advanced. A real currency that has similar characteristics to the one of real cities. But also for external activities: this is, perhaps, a novelty in Plato’s thinking, that we must look at in order to verify any elements of originality for a new Greek monetary policy.
