Another coin from Littleton from my previous batch. Bactria, Hermaios 40-1 B.C. Drachm O: BASILEWS EWTHROS ERMAOIU draped and diademed bust right RL Karosthi legend around, Zeus left hand extended right hand holding scepter, monograms left and right I passed on the others the store had, they are in bad condition but I am happy to pick up the two for a bargain price.
Very sweet new pick-up, icerain ... wow, you've been buying-up quite a few coins lately (very cool) I also have quite a nice Bactrian King example ... Demetrius I Trichalkon with ELEPHANT 200-185 BC Diameter: 29.5 mm Weight: 12.61 grams Bactrian Kings, Demetrius I, bronze Attic trichalkon of: Obverse: Head of elephant with bell hanging from neck Reverse: Caduceus
Worn, but nice and well identifyable. I like that also on the Kharosti side the entire name is readable:
Yup, year end buying spree. Got a couple more to research, photograph and post. Then in a couple weeks its time for the show.
I am taking the opportunity to post mine... I I couldn't read the Greek legend I would have no idea who issues my coin...I'm missing what you have...
