<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 1779318, member: 42773"]I can definitely see influence from the Turko-Hephthalites to the Bukhara - a stylized version of significant elements. The third coin is too worn to make out much, but the style seems to have gone from simple to simplistic. I see your point about degrading aesthetics. Maybe the art of engraving just faded for a time, like it did throughout Europe in the Dark Ages.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
