<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TuckHard, post: 4259695, member: 102653&quot;]Incredible write-up, thank you for your research and efforts in this. Your example has some great detail, especially in the legend. I think that it is especially worth mentioning that one of the biggest indications that Azes I and Azes II are the same ruler is that <a href="http://www.onsnumis.org/news/seniorcollection.shtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.onsnumis.org/news/seniorcollection.shtml" rel="nofollow">Robert (Bob) Senior</a> discovered and published a JONS article in 2008 titled &quot;The Final Nail in the Coffin of Azes II&quot; where he displays and discusses a Azes II coin that had been overstruck with an Azes I design. I haven&#039;t read the article but it&#039;s pretty interesting that such a historical confusion is directly tied to numismatics like that. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have this small fractional coin that I have attributed to Azes II. While not unique, these small coins seem to be quite a bit rarer than the larger standard pieces. I really don&#039;t know the denominations from the region/time but one online source called it a &quot;quarter unit&quot; so I&#039;ve been using that. I also uploaded this to Numista; <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces197297.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces197297.html" rel="nofollow">see its page here</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1085777[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center">Indo-Scythians</p> <p style="text-align: center">Circa 35 BCE-5 CE</p> <p style="text-align: center">AE Quarter Unit; 2.27g 16mm</p> <p style="text-align: center">Issued under Azes II (?)</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
