Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 07/10/2018 12:10 am Very nice! I have won several of these in ebay auctions, just because they are fun to have! Good rendition of the legend on this one. Always struck me as odd how these early coins from the empire's zenith are so uneven and crudely made while the later coins from Sri Lanka are made so well.

Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 07/10/2018 12:10 pm Nice coin Ron! As you know these are very common coins but not that easy to obtain with a full readable legend like yours... Good find.. The crescent above the cyphers on the obverse indicates your coin is from mainland India... Paul Report this Post to the Staff
