drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1995 Posts	Posted 03/02/2013 3:02 pm This is a Western Kshatrap coin. The readable portion of the legend reads "Bhartr damna".

It is about 1750 years old. There is an image of Bhartrdaman coin also. Please have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhartrdaman Report this Post to the Staff
