<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 2276837, member: 57364&quot;]Loong Siew, i have to express my severe doubts about your coin.</p><p>You state that the inscription is in possible Sanskrit script. Sanskrit is a language, not a script. At this time the most likely script would be late Brahmi script. But i could not read the text on your specimen. At first i thought that might be because of a local Dvaravati script variant. However i checked some other specimen, like this one: <a href="http://www.sac.or.th/databases/inscriptions/uploads/images/20140618101855vgqQ.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.sac.or.th/databases/inscriptions/uploads/images/20140618101855vgqQ.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.sac.or.th/databases/inscriptions/uploads/images/20140618101855vgqQ.jpg</a> Quality is not very nice. But this is proper Brahmi and i can read it without problems as &quot;Sri Dvaravati / Svarapunya&quot;. The text on your coin is badly copied by someone who did not understand the script, introducing a lot of mistakes, and making it illegible. Because of this, in addition to the general execution and surface structure, i truly fear this is a fake modern production.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
