All great coins! Yours is outstanding since copper coins were always worn down by heavy use. Not to many people in those days carried a wallet full of gold coins.
Congrats again!! A very desirable and interesting coin!! Any Roman solidus' examples in your wonderful collection?? Only a very few of us here seem to have even one or two but all of us wish we did.
Very nice ancient India coin ! (In Indian numismatics often the border between Ancient and Medieval is put around 1200AD). Good to give some counterweight to all those boring Romans Also great provenance coming from the Adams collection.
Thanks. Yes, Dr. Adams had a lovely collection. His interests were same as mine, all Worldwide gold. He will be missed!
