New Ancients

Hello,

Ive been looking forward to this parcel for a week now - I was unsure what I was getting, but the reason for this parcel was to try and acquire a Horse jital (below). The other bits are extras to balance things up in the trade.

PS: A huge thank you to forum member Broseph for helping me acquire these!

The parcel was 6 'ancient and medieval coins' (a mixed lot, I had no idea what I was getting!) with at least 2 silver coins in there and a Horse Jital. To be honest, I knew the silvers would be tiny - I was in for the bronze.

Heres what the little envelopes say:
First up, the nicest of that lot:
India - Kushan SOTER MEGAS (80-105 ACE) - a true ancient and my first Tetradrachm.



King Rajaraja - Seated king on one side, standing on the other. I cant see the standing king... This is around 1000ACE.
Seated:

Standing?:



And two of these teensy little silver coins -Habbarid of Sind Silver Dhammas. Before 1000ACE. Pretty bashed up, but lovely and a great addition to the small end of the collection. Heres both fitting on the face of a 1943 steel cent.


The other coins - all after 1200 - will be posted elsewhere.

And here is the parcel's main coin, which, despite its relative youth, will be going in my ancients collection -
Nasir Al-din Horse Jital. Thanks to Dougsmit - he posted a similar, albeit much better condition one, on this forum - And I wanted one - I like its simplistic design but still clear image of a horse. Pity I didnt get its pointed ears, but I wasnt expecting anything as good as this for $6.




Its meant to have been cleaned - I was quite miffed by its condition when I first say it, but quickly realised that the sand patina was infact covering a lot of detail. That picture is mid clean.
