Barbarian invasion

Here is the unfriendly face of a Hun invader !
This original portrait must depict the typical aspect of one of the Barbarians who terrorized Europe.

HUNS. Hunnic Tribes. Hephthalites, anonymous Narana/Narendra type.c. late 6th.century-early 7th.Century AD.

WOW, that's so cool!!

I understand the Hun's purposely scarred their faces and your coin certainly seems to depict that. I hope @Ancientnoob catches this thread.

 

Wow that's cool.


Thanks,
Jacob

 

GREAT HUN @PMONNEY ! Nice detail!

I only have this Jital from the Nezak Huns (really cannot see the face...)


HUNS Nezak Huns - Spalapati Deva AR Jital 750-850 CE Horseman-Bull Tye 5

The Huns even artificially elongated their heads, as may be seen on this coin and on many skulls in Hun tombs.

 

Very cool portrait, what does the reverse show?

Cool OP coin and nice coins everybody else. I don't have any Hun coins yet.

 

The reverse usually doesn’t show anything on this type, just a vague incuse.

 

Ok thanks.
