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
drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1995 Posts	Posted 03/24/2011 3:24 pm Coin number 1 on the top row is of Kanishka, who ruled in India in the first century. On both the sides standing figures are there. Legends seem worn out. The second coin on the top row seems to have an elephant with rider on one side and standing figure on the other. If that is the case, it belongs to the period of Wima Kadphises, who ruled prior to Kanishka. They belong to the Yuezhi clan who came to India and ruled here. Kanishka ascended throne in the year 78AD. Report this Post to the Staff
