It should be a cu-ni baktrian coin.could you please check the photos and let me know of your opinion? Edited by asha44 07/02/2022 08:55 am Report this Post to the Staff

Bob L Pillar of the Community United States 6397 Posts	Posted 07/02/2022 09:10 am It's a well known tourist fake of a silver tetradrachm of Demetrios I of Baktria. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 14518 Posts	Posted 07/02/2022 12:25 pm Absolutely 100% fake. This is very typical of the kinds of "tourist fakes" that were sold in Afghanistan to Westerners. "Cupronickel coins" of Bactria do indeed exist; they are made from a copper ore naturally high in nickel and are quite scarce; examples are known from kings Euthydemos II and Agathokles; Demetrios I did not issue cupronickel coins. See Doug SmIth's article for more info. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
