stonewall New Member Netherlands 41 Posts	Posted 07/04/2017 6:22 pm I would like help with identifying this coin and authenticity of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/04/2017 6:34 pm It's a Western Satrap from India. The reverse is aligned right and there really isn't enough legend to come up with a name, so I'll have to try and match the face. Here is a link to the series: http://coinindia.com/galleries-kshatrapas.html It seems to look like Rudrasena II to me. Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 07/05/2017 3:43 pm My guess is Bhartrdaman: http://coinindia.com/galleries-bhartrdaman.html Hard to tell as most of the ruler's name and the patronymic are corroded. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/05/2017 4:14 pm I tried to enhance the picture a bit, but I still can't tell for sure. Here are a couple I posted not too long ago. You can see how the reverse should be aligned. http://goccf.com/t/290849 I sent your images over to an expert on these coins, hopefully I get an answer for you soon. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/05/2017 9:57 pm Steve you were right. I heard back from Pankaj Tandon and he confirmed it was Bhartrdaman. http://coinindia.com/galleries-bhartrdaman.html Report this Post to the Staff
