Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 09/04/2013 7:35 pm During the introduction to the Usurper Smackdown we saw Isvaradatta a foreign invader of the Western Satraps, capture the throne in 164SE. Now I know everyone is eagerly awaiting me to show the coin of the emperor who lost his throne and then recaptured it! Vijayasena Kardamaka, son of Damasena As Ksatrapa 160-161 SE (238-239 AD) As Mahaksatrapa 161-173 SE (239-251 AD) Vijayasena Kardamaka as Mahaksatrapa dated SE 164 (242 AD) AR Karshapana 15 mm x 2.14 g Obverse: Bust of Vijayasena wearing collar and satrapal cap. Corrupt Greek legend around. Clear Brahmi date behind bust 164. Reverse: Crescent on three arched hill over a wavy line crescent in left field and sun in the right field. Brahmi legend- Rajno MaHaKsaTraPaSa DaMaSeNaSaPuTraSa RaJnoH MaHaKstrapTsa ViJaYaSeNaSa ref: Fishman 23.3.164 Cough The most common dated coin in the whole series! EDIT: Legend Correction!
