alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 09/02/2014 5:24 pm These three cost me pennies less than $2.00. Sellers images and I don't expect them in hand for a while. Is there a flicker of recognition anywhere? I believe top right to be inverted. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16869 Posts	Posted 09/02/2014 9:46 pm The round one is Kushan or similar, I believe; I can see a tamgha. The two square ones look Indo-Greek. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/02/2014 9:55 pm Nice buy for three bucks. As Sap said they are all Kushan. I'm going to move this thread to the Ancient coin section for a better ID. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/03/2014 08:09 am As Sap pointed out, the round one is Kushan. Appears to be Huvishka I (c. 150-190 AD), Gobl 934. Obverse (the image you have on the right) is "King seated facing with his legs apart. Bactrian legend." Reverse (left image) is "Miiro with radiate nimbus, left." Here's an example online: http://numismatics.org/collection/1944.100.66740 Report this Post to the Staff
