echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/01/2014 11:05 pm Thanks to Anoob I recently became interested in this coin type. I have a tetradrachm of Azes II. I still need to learn how to ID the differences between I & II and the few others that issued this type. A good reference source is Coins India. Very nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff

It's been superceded by Boperachchi's(sp?)book which is very expensive. Mitchiner is used by some, not me. The Lahore Museum Catalog (no plates) is fairly accurate for these types. Legends are written out pretty clearly, very useful. Lahore Catalog can be found here as a free google e-book. http://books.google.com/books?id=cO...ge&q&f=false Report this Post to the Staff
