Spence Moderator United States 34511 Posts	Posted 08/27/2016 08:04 am First coin is Sassanid empire (I think that both of your pics are upside down). Second coin looks like Western Satraps (pic #1 is sideways). Sorry but without clearer pics, I can't provide a more precise attribution--maybe others here can. I'm going to recommend that this post be moved to the medieval/ancients area.

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 08/27/2016 08:21 am Echizento may be able to verify, but I suspect the Sassanian here is either a Hormazd IV or a Hunnic imitation of one of his. For comparison here's a Hormazd IV: http://grifterrec.rasmir.com/sasani...hIV_LD-6.jpg Here's a Hunnic imitation: http://grifterrec.rasmir.com/huns/i_heph_phoro.jpg Edited by Kamnaskires 08/27/2016 08:22 am Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 08/27/2016 3:16 pm The second coin I believe is of the Western Satrap Rudrasena I, though with a a clear readable legend I'm not 100% sure. Report this Post to the Staff
