This short study revisits a parcel of Rhodian silver recorded in Coin Hoards and separates its worn, late plinthophoric hemidrachms from earlier coins of less certain association. Ashton corrects the reported composition and considers which specimens plausibly belong to one find. It is a useful reminder that the total size of a market parcel and the number of coins accepted as a coherent hoard need not be the same.
