Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 05/19/2013 1:04 pm I guess AncientNoob will be the best to ID this. Saw it going cheap advertised as 'unknown silver coin'. I probably overpaid. Oh well. Off centre and worn but I havent seen one before. Report this Post to the Staff

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2893 Posts	Posted 05/19/2013 1:48 pm These are very early Indian coins - sometimes referred to as the "Gupta" empire. You used to be able to pick these up for a couple of pounds - but Â£10-Â£15 is probably closer to the mark now. EDIT - It's a drachm denomination BTW.

jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 05/19/2013 5:44 pm Yes, Gupta Silver Drachm. That price sounds a little high. I've been seeing them for around US$7-12 lately. The price jump on these is purely due to silver prices. The base metal issues from Kushan up to the Guptas can still be had for around $5 in decent shape. I picked up 10 decent Kushan AE for $5 each a few months ago. Lots of this material coming out of Pakistan lately. Report this Post to the Staff
