Maybe somehow based on Kushan staters of Huvishka, with Ardoksho reverses?

Modern fake of a Kushan dinar - should be gold, Kushans didn't mint silver. I see these all the time coming out of Pakistan etc

@Bob Thx! Yes, could be. But looks like an imitation, what do you think?

Was hoping you'd chime in, Steve. Wasn't sure if a modern or ancient imitation of the type.

All I can say is: Finn knows his stuff. He is an expert on Eastern (including South Asian) ancients series. I would not make the purchase.
