Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 07/25/2019 8:49 pm There's a tamgha in the left field of the first image, and the second image is likely a seated figure (rotate image 90 degrees clockwise). I suspect it's Kushan. There are several Kushan issues that fit the bill. Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 07/25/2019 9:35 pm If you rotate the 2nd photo 1/4 turn clockwise, you'll find Huvishka seated on a couch. The weight is a fraction of the official Kushan issues. Mitchiner attributes the light-weights to "the Jouan-Jouan in Bactria" but that may be more wishful thinking than science. Without a legible name, the standing diety is tough. Several are depicted in similar poses. Mithra (Miiro) is one possibility. Edited by Kushanshah 07/25/2019 9:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 07/29/2019 4:39 pm Jouan-Jouan coins are engraved with childlike stick figures. At that size, I wonder if it could be a 1/2 unit or didrachm? Style looks about right for an official issue, but it can be hard to tell when the originals weren't that great to begin with.
