Abstract Four nuclear methods are critically regarded from the point of view of the nondestructive analyses of the ancient coins. The information they can give and the reliability of each method are discussed. The coins analyzed are eleven Thasian tetradrachmas from the Chiselet hoard, minted during the second and first centuries BC. Much information can be obtained about the original ore and ancient minting technology.
