Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 10/13/2013 10:35 pm Can anyone give me a clue with this one? The right photo clearly has a figure holding (Nike?) in right hand and possibly left hand resting on a shield. The left photo has a central helmeted figure, maybe? I'm kinda stumped. Thanks for any thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff

Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 10/14/2013 12:31 pm Agreeing with others the coin is from the east. It appears to be of a post Kushan era type. Say after 300 AD. It could so be imitative but looks similar in style to the coins of the Yaudeyas, around the same time. Many tribes and local kingdoms manufactured Kushan like coins for a few centuries after their destruction. Report this Post to the Staff
