Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 05/28/2013 9:21 pm Ski is close in attribution and dwayne is close in depicted ruler. I will tell you what the coin is.... (North India, Post-Hephthalite Period. ...check out ..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurjar...Early_rulers Pratihara Supremacy India Pratikara - Pala (780-980 AD) 21.5 mm x 4.13 g Found in Gujarat and Malwa but no one knows the name of the issuing king. You must ask yourself, what Persian king's coins made it all over Asia in large quantities and was subsequently copied for centuries. Report this Post to the Staff

Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 05/28/2013 10:45 pm Ok! But the answer was Peroz. (Firuz) His likeness was carried across Central Asia as a result of the donkey loads of coins that were used to pay ransoms, tributes and tolls, to various people.
