Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 11/24/2015 6:06 pm Its interesting this type is and those of Varhran are sometimes offered in Electrum and Gold, but often for moon money. If you can find a small bronze in high grade you are made in the shade. This coin is very pleasing and certainly represents one of the lesser known political arrangements of the time.
