It is possibly from the same region, but I have not found a match during many image searches. Not being able to read the inscriptions is a real drawback. I don't even know if the orientation is correct. The obverse (?) looks like a bull. Hopefully someone will know what it is. It has the appearance and feel of silver. It is 15 mm in diameter, 2.52 mm thick, and weighs 3.3 gr. Thanks for any advice. Jim Report this Post to the Staff

Novicius Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1168 Posts	Posted 07/16/2020 11:07 am Sorry for the late reply, as I had problems logging-in. It turned out to be a corrupted cookie in the browser. Thank you for the link Bob. The article was most helpful in identifying the coin. Once the horse and rider side was rotated it was much clearer. If I am not wrong, it is a Kabul Shahis, AR jital, Samanta Deva. Thank you also for the link to the thread Paul. It is extremely informative, well illustrated, and the OP (@drnsreedhar) has done amazing work putting it together. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
