this coin has been sitting on ebay for a reasonable price for weeks. finally picked it up as a consolation prize for loosing another auction. neat little coin. there isn't much known about the nagas of narwar. they were in northernish india and seem to have been forced out or assimilated by the guptas...i don't really know. maybe AN could shed some light on these guys?
