Always nice to see more of your newfangled (i.e. anything post-ancient) coins, Ron.

Thanks Bob, nice to see someone likes it. I picked up a nice Kushan half unit of Kanishka I today. I'll post it when it arrives.

Nice pick up. From the photo's I imagined it to be a small coin, but from the measurements I see its a good size, usually in such situations I find the coin is well proportioned and is nice in hand.

It is a nice size, it's funny they called it a Tank. I believe this is the largest type thy in size and weight they made.
