Ahh man, I love it... I have seen similar, do you have any background to share. I am curious is the legend Pahvali. The legend and figures are so gorgeous. Its a surprisingly small coin. Ok Eng, I'm sold.  Any idea what the legend says? |

Very interesting coin indeed, I was reading that it was an ancient kingdom in Yemen. That is cool, a very unique type of coinage. Truly impressive.

Wow...that one is strikingly different to my ancients! I was not aware of the Homerite/Himyarite kingdom--Imagine all the civilizations that are completely forgotten? I feel like I learned something. |
