Well Done VK! Thanks your right I have been busy. I was hoping with the volunteer system the game would become self running and you guys might be able to get by without my wise and skilled leadership. @VK Here the pickings are slim for me. Harun Al-Rashid was dead by now. The Persians, Huns and Hephthaites in the original form no longer exist. Most of Asia is under Arab domination. The Chola were still battling for control of a long fractured India and had yet to extensively mint coins. With that being said, I see your Louie and raise you a Pyu. Burma, The States of Pyu, The City of Srikshetra AR Full Unit (96 Ratti) s. 800-832 AD (Final Coinage) 35 mm x 9.53 g obverse: Bhadrapitha Symbol. A Drum tied in the center with diadems. reverse: Srivatsa symbol (the Temple of Sri, fertility goddess) with sun and moon above, conch shell on the right and thunderbolt to the left. Wicks: Class D.

We should be ready for a new coin, does someone care to volunteer a coin? Feel free to do so at your leisure.
