<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 7810813, member: 26302&quot;]1000% agree sir. I have read the same. I am actually torn about the origins of Indian numismatics. I know it was introduced fairly early though Afghanistan, and how most early Indian coinage was in NW India close to this. However, it is of such different fabric than western coinage I am unsure if its a local derivation of Persian coinage or if they were just vaguely aware of this but invented their own themselves.</p><p><br /></p><p>Indian numismatics is where I would love definitive dating to clear this up. Right now I tend to lean in the independent invention due to the difference in fabric.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, I was just talking to some Ecuadorians at lunch today. I wish they took more pride in inventing coins in the Americas under the Incans. The Azteca learned from the Incans how to make coins through trade with them. Both probably would have followed the Chinese model of coin development had the Spanish not interrupted them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
