pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 05/19/2014 3:56 pm Wildwinds has this down as Orodes III, but examples on acsearch show it as Orodes I, II and III. How am I supposed to tell which one this is? Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 05/19/2014 5:10 pm The latest research on Elymaean coins is Van't Haaff (2007). By his reckoning your coin is Kamnaskires-Orodes, from early-mid 2nd century AD. The exact citation is Van't Haaff type 12.3, subtype 1-2A1. Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 05/19/2014 5:30 pm Wow! Nice coins Bob. Mine looks as though it should clean up in 5 minutes (famous last words), I don't think it will have as much detail as yours, but won't be too far behind. Report this Post to the Staff

CGCoins Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 05/19/2014 7:55 pm I just picked up 4 of this Empire's coins, not knowing anything about them. They were in a bag listed as 1700-1800 India. Was I surprised when this forum helped shed the light on what they really are. Very interesting that there is so little known about the empire.
