<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2454939, member: 76194&quot;]An elephant and a Zebu walk into a bar. The Elephant tells the Zebu...&quot;Here, have some peanuts from the peanut bowl.&quot; The Zebu says, &quot;No thanks, I&#039;m watching my weight.&quot; The elephant replies, &quot;Come on, don&#039;t be a square.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Hahahaha...a square, get it? A square? Uhm, no? Never mind. Look at what I purchased today! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]513544[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Kings of Baktria Indo-Greek Apollodotos I Circa 180/174-165/160 B.C.

I&#039;ve been looking more towards the east lately to bring a little variety to my Eurocentric ancient coin collection...and I think this one will fit nicely with my goal of diversifying my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is Bactrian, it has Greek text on it, but Indian-style themes with the elephant and the zebu, not to mention the square shape.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, what do you guys think? About the coin, not my sense of humor, ok?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
