    I finally got a chance...
    ...to swap out 2 coins (Bactrian) that I was using as placeholders on this poster with coins that are more formally considered Indo-Scythian. Now I have 12 (I have a thing for the number 12 :joyful:) Of course now I have 2 orphaned Bactrians :oops: I guess the right thing to do now is to add 10 more Bactrians and bring that collection (Bactrian family) up to 12 :D Great idea! Thanks to all of my CTAF friends for the inspiration! :singing:

    Magnificent, as usual, Deacon Ray!

    I especially like your hexachalkon and square coins. So cool! :cool:

    Thank you, Erin! The coins which started this interest were the Azes II coins that dealers were calling "Coins of the Wise Men"

    I’ve seen those coins. Azes II in on my wish list. I’d like to get coins from all of the Wise Men possibilities.

    Keep up the great work!

    Very nice coins @Deacon Ray - I don't collect these, but I probably should add some to my collection.
