Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 01/05/2015 10:22 pm The bottom picture is the obverse. It is a (medieval) Indian coin imitating Sasanian coinage, probably from the Rajput dynasties. What is the weight? Btw Edited by Medieval 01/05/2015 10:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/05/2015 11:05 pm to the community Your pictures are a bit dark but what you have is an AR drachm of Saurashta and Gujgrat in India circa 800-950 AD. The first picture is the reverse and is a stylized Zoroastrian Fire altar with attendants. The obverse is a stylized bust of Khushrau. Report this Post to the Staff
