[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 7702644, member: 98035"]Some non-Islamic obscure series: Unknown AE11, presumed to be Kushan-related due to the style of the reverse figure's clothing. Never seen anything remotely close to this one. [ATTACH=full]1321818[/ATTACH] Another mystery AR hemiobol sold as "unknown Celtic".
