Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 09/02/2010 6:03 pm It's a silver drachm from Parthia. Most Parthian coins have side-view portraits, rather than facing like on this coin. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 01/13/2011 02:59 am I have Percy Gardner's book: 'The coinage of Parthia' publ. 1968, San Diego. Interestingly, my book does not illustrate any facing coins; Sap is right; facing coins of Parthia, generally, are scarce. I have found three similar items on the vcoins search website for: O: Vonones 11 AD 51, facing bust, R: Archer seated. Drachm, 3.7 grammes. Prices range from $175 to $300 in VF condition. Curiously, Gardner says no coins were issued for this prince. Methinks that more research has been done since Gardner's work. Edited by sel_69l 01/13/2011 03:13 am Report this Post to the Staff
