Aretas and silver coinage[edit]

Howdy. With regards to your edit to Aretas III, I thought I'd make sure that you're aware that I reverted, in case you wish to correct my reasoning. It's true that Aretas minted almost excusively bronze coins, but the British Museum has one or two authenticated pieces in silver from that period. The minting was unusual enough that it was the basis for the hook for the article that appeared on the "Did you know" section of the Main Page a few months back. See citation 3 in the references section, or the relevant passage that I've copied to the article's talk page. I'll admit that my specialty isn't in this field, but if you do feel that the reference is incorrect, could you provide some counterevidence showing the British Museum pieces to be other than what the article's author claims them to be, or something equally convincing along those lines?
