Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 08/09/2019 11:23 am Possibly Kushan, but perhaps more likely contemporaneous ancient imitations of Kushan types by the Jouan-Jouan and others. I recommend bouncing this over to the ancients section (which is where it belongs) to get more eyes on it - particularly Kushanshah's, echizento's, and Finn235's.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 08/10/2019 4:38 pm I agree Kushan, based on what I came make out of the tamga on the bottom left it appears to be Kanishka but an imitation. Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 08/10/2019 11:56 pm I agree. The coin at upper left appears to be a local imitation of Huvishka with king sitting cross-legged. The common attribution is "Jouan-Jouan" but that may be more marketing than reality. The other three are (official?) coins of Kanishka featuring ithyphallic Siva on reverse, a popular anatomical type.
