<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 4104996, member: 81887&quot;]Very cool OP coin!&nbsp; I always enjoy seeing coins that fuse 2 seemingly distinct cultures.&nbsp; No culture exists in a vacuum, and often the most interesting stuff happens where cultures are forced to interact with each other on a daily basis.</p><p><br /></p><p>Side note:&nbsp; Another example of such fusion is the &quot;Arab-Sasanian&quot; coinage of the earliest Islamic rulers of Persia, which copies Sasanian designs and often features inscriptions in both Arabic and in Pahlavi (Middle Persian) script.&nbsp; Of course, Arabic and Pahlavi look very similar (at least until you try to actually read them), so the fusion isn&#039;t as obvious on first glance.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1066478[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1066481[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
