<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1817275, member: 26302&quot;]Collect, the one thing I would say about your coin is its from the time of Prince Siddhartha Gatama, (Buddha), then it would be mid 5th century, not 6th century. Its pretty well accepted they got the dates off when they started the buddhist calendar. I find most older references on Indian coin dating off by 100 years or so, maybe because of this error. 2013 is 2556 in the buddhist calendar, but its really only been about 2450 years since Buddha was born.</p><p><br /></p><p>The British Museum publication, &quot;From Persepolis to the Punjab&quot; goes over this dating issue fairly well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
