Hey buddy
here is your answer
The first coins were made of electrum, an alloy of silver and gold. It appears that many early Lydian coins wereminted by merchants as tokens to be used in trade transactions. The Lydian state also minted coins, most of thecoins mentioning king Alyattes of Lydia.
Coins are one of the most importantsources of information from which archaeologists and historians can try to interpret the past. This is partly because, unlike most other ancient artefacts, they are often stamped with words and images. It is also because they are hard-wearing and survive in large numbers.
hope it helps.....
