<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EWC3, post: 3345568, member: 93416&quot;]Am just a dilettante on these - but here are a couple of points</p><p><br /></p><p>1)&nbsp; For weight standard, up to Peroz the coins seem to follow Alexander and strike to Attic c. 4.25g.&nbsp; Then Peroz drops the standard to 4.15g or perhaps 4.13g&nbsp; I interpret this as a rejection of the Greek heritage and a return to the Persian mina of Darius - thus&nbsp; a kind of siglos - 500g/120 (or perhaps 500g/121, a drachm for the mint master?).....</p><p><br /></p><p>2)&nbsp; There is a huge change in style in the middle of the reign of K II, and it is associated with a weird 10 year plus gap in coining.&nbsp; Loads of crude style coins up to c. year 13 - gap - then loads of nice coins after c. year 26 or so, as I recall.&nbsp; I never saw a good explanation of the gap or the change</p><p><br /></p><p>Rob T[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
