Kidarite Coin - silver drachm - Fire Alter with attendants - 360-380 AD... did I win?

 

I would say you did. I have the coin dated a little later AD 380-400. Kidarite Huns King C naming Varo in Brahmi under the fire alter.

For those who might be interested, the Kidarites where a Hunnic tribe who claimed Kushan ancestry. It is believe the Kidarites where a recognized by Sassanian Persia as a nation.

 

maybe kidara?

 

ooops...to slow. i was close.

 

Very.

 

Yeah, Kidarite. No, I wish I had a hoard of these, just a couple. The faces are usually poorly struck due to lack of die pressure from the strike. A full face example is strikingly expensive. Yours is very nice.
