maybe they are known as more than one thing?


Nope, it's just the difference between the traditional transliteration (which I use for these coins because my references use it) and the modern transliteration system.
It's just the same with 'Peking' vs 'Beijing'.

I already used my Yuechi Sapadbizes so that doesn't leave me many options.

I do have this rather beat Yasodaman II (AD 317-332). The date on the obverse is still intact. 241 Saka Era. Struck AD 319.

Nice to see a Yazdegard, was thinking if one of those would pop up - unfortunately I have none of them in my collection.

Checking the thread replies list, looks like Medieval is the most prolific poster in this alphabet thread with 159 posts (out of 642 total as of this post)! As far as I remember I think you've had at least a coin or two for every letter of the alphabet until now so far (do you have a "Z" coin to complete?). You have quite the extensive collection Medieval, congrats!

I had more of the letters (not all) but I was rather lazy to post more of my coins lol

Did you count just 'replies' or the 'coins' being posted?

But there are probably a number of reasons (apart from some posters being 'lazy'):
- many have probably shown most of their coins earlier and only focused on the better ones
- my interests are wide spread, so I have mostly lower budget coins (if I remember right, there is only one non-gold coin I paid more than $100 for, namely https://goccf.com/t/188098 )
- have only recently started to scan my coins, so this thread gave me incentive

Now have to decide what I will post today.

Ok got replies and coins posted mixed up but I think there is little doubt you have a very varied collection, well done.

Thanks for the compliment, hope there were some you did enjoy - and perhaps tempted you to add something similar to your collection.
