Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 10/14/2014 7:47 pm Here are the (9) coins that I referred to earlier. Could they be early Greek coins or are they Kushan? All coins are (up to) 12.5 mm and weigh (up to ) 2.3 gm. Coin #1 Coin #2 Coin #3 Coin #4 Coin #5 Coin #6 Coin #7 Coin #8 Coin #9 I hope that this helps.

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 10/14/2014 8:16 pm Coins two through six may also be Kushan, perhaps Soter Megas/Vima Taktu bronzes (Senior ISCH type 13). These types have the "king mounted right with arm raised; three-pronged tamgha in right field" on the obverse and Zeus with sceptre, with a Kharosthi legend around, on the reverse.
