So sorry for your loss. My own father died in June. He was 81, and the last few months saw a lot of time in hospitals, so it wasn't unexpected,...
The last of my recent purchases that I hadn't posted yet: [ATTACH] Nabataean Kingdom. AE 17. Malichus II and Queen Shaqilath II (40-71 AD)....
:facepalm: Wow. I knew that Romanians tend to be proud of their Roman heritage, but I've never heard that, uh, particular theory before....
Well, I don't have a fear of flying (my only phobia is that I refuse to swim in the ocean, because I will be eaten by a shark), so I don't have...

For a barbarous coin, that's not bad at all. The portrait's pretty good, and it's only when you notice the blundered legend, or the fact that...
Modern cast copy, sorry.
Grrrr...... I remembered the weird Persian 4, but forgot about the 6. Why must you be different, Persian numerals? Why?

The date on your coin is 1319.
@Northantsno1 : Your token is a Hindu piece. The first side shows the Seven Rishis (seven important sages from early Hindu scripture), each...
Here's one of my wins from the recent Triskeles 20 auction: [ATTACH] Parthian Kingdom. AR drachm (20mm, 3.61g). Vonones I (c. 8-12 AD)....
