bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/12/2013 08:00 am Not sure but think the first one is Indo Scythian, you'll need to confirm as I cant see the reverse but this looks (and weighs) about right, something similar to this: http://wildwinds.com/coins/greece/i...rises/t.html Second is Roman showing Emperor Maximian, the reverse is CONCORDIA MILITVM. Its dates to around 290AD, example here: http://numismatics.org/search/resul...%22&start=80 I cant read the mintmark on yours (6 O'clock on reverse) but if you can we can tell you exactly when and where it was made. Cant help with the third group, sorry, fourth is Indian I think but I cant attribute it any closer, others probably can. Its known as Karshapan and could be very early (4th century BC) http://www.indianetzone.com/22/kars...th_india.htm Edited by bobbyhelmet 01/12/2013 08:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2882 Posts	Posted 01/12/2013 08:29 am The third group are aqche from the Ottoman Empire - possibly Mehmet II, but certainly from that period. The last one is Mauryan Empire (c.321 - 187 BC) (Karshapana Series as previously indicated).

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/12/2013 12:48 pm I agree, its very nice indeed - hopefully a couple of people far more suited than me will be along shortly to fully ID it. I'll post info on the Roman shortly. Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/12/2013 12:48 pm The Roman is: IMP C M A MAXIMIANVS AVG - Maximian CONCORDIA MILITVM - Emperor holding parazonium presenting victory on globe to Jupiter who is holding a sceptre. XXXDot and I think A in centre Minted in workshop No 1, Cyzicus (Kapu Dagh, Turkey) somewhere between 286 and 294AD. Value is only around $10, maybe $20 on a good day.

Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 01/12/2013 1:45 pm The silver is definitely Indo Scythian and from the era of Azes I/II maybe same person. 60bc-5ad. I " The great King of Kings. I would say those are in the $50- $150 range with yours about $100. Nice coin I would love to have that reverse for my collection. Masis- impressive research. I have been looking at the different tamgas on the Elam teradrachms, and drachms. I did not know about the deliberate deformation of the heads of these people. I always thought that was confined to the Meso-American native cultures and the Egyptians. Interesting. Once I get the Elam in hand, I will try to compare a few different types to look at.

Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 01/12/2013 1:55 pm The last squarish coin is an Indian punch mark karshapana. Unless its a super rare variant they can be had for about $35, I don't have a real good source outside of whats available online to attribute these. Maybe some one could assist you farther.
