Guess 'Ancientnoob' is asking for one. So go ahead as long as it's not a MM.

Didn't I know it.  With that narrow date range, there are no that many options - but someone might have the odd one.

Na, the Kushani coin is a little early.  But you could show your Wu Chu, the standard type was minted from the 1st to the 6th century.

Ah I see your point Med, but my Wu Chu is from the 3rd century.  I have seen this coin marked exactly as AD 360 but I read elsewhere a date of AD 380. So your probably right.

I have only two well dated Wu Chu, one would fit with Commodus and the other with Maurice Tiberius.

Now that's incredible! talk about longevity of the series, it really puts it in perspective when you talk contemporary.
