My gut reaction is that this is from the Guptas, or possibly one of the other various dynasties that copied the Western Kshatrapas. I might be...
Second photo, next-to-bottom row, second full coin in, I can read MARC VEN, which may be referring to the city of Venice and its patron Saint...
You, sir, win the award for most attention-grabbing intro sentence to a Coin Talk post. Oh, and also, nice coins, thanks for sharing.
Indian coins aren't my main focus, but I do dabble a bit. Here's one type I own that hasn't been shown yet in this thread: [ATTACH] Indo-Greek,...
I have an imitative of Constantine I that has a (to me) attractive style: [ATTACH]
Nice OP coin and write-up @Ancient Aussie . Here's my JC lifetime denarius, struck in January-February 44 BC just a couple of months before that...
