pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/20/2013 12:46 pm Not sure what this is. Put a small bid on to keep an eye on it. Anyone have any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 08/20/2013 1:05 pm Best Guess... The obverse and reverse figures will take a bit more imagination to figure out... but I think one side is and elephant and the other side being a Tree or maybe even a lion. Its a bit worn but you might be able to nail it down based on weight. I believe it to an Anonymous Bronze Karshapana or derivative denomination depending on weight of Pushkalavlti (Taxila), India (Local Coinage) 200 BC-100 AD, Post-Mauryan period.

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/20/2013 1:19 pm Elephant eh? Well I will have it if nobody else wants it. It is not a very good example. I am trying not to get distracted from the strictly Roman, but it is very hard. Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/29/2013 7:39 pm Thanks Noobs, knew I could depend on you. It feels very nice in the hand. Still not sure what it depicts, but it doesn't really matter. Report this Post to the Staff
