This coin my have been struck by a King Kotison who would have struck these to pay his soldiers to aid Brutus and his Army vs Octavius/ Mark Anthonys forces. The latter bunch won, so the coins remained buried, until unearthed recently in Romania.

 

Tough one to follow there. It looks like Scythia may share a border western edge of present day China. This is a Chaghatai Khanate dirhem from Almaligh circa AH658 - 661.

 

I think India borders that Chaghatai Khanate area, so here is a Western Satraps AR drachm, new acquisition, unsure of date range or ruler as yet.
