<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1891561, member: 19463&quot;]Lesson one: Samanta Deva has characters over the hump of the bull that looks like H4 (open top 4).&nbsp; Spalapati Deva has the H but the next two characters remind me of old fashion can openers (few of you ever used one) with sharp prongs pointing down.</p><p><img src="http://img.mylot.com/1982461.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp; JA&#039;s coin is a fine example of this.&nbsp; The next to last of YOC&#039;s set is one as well but it is not as clear.&nbsp; These are further classified by the letter left of the horseman.&nbsp; JA&#039;s coin is off center and loses this but I believe his Tye 5 ID is correct.&nbsp; The letter on the YOC Spalapati looks like a Tye 7 but it could be clearer. </p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/bh02.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Samanta Deva are the most common type.&nbsp; YOC&#039;s first, second and fifth are Tye 14.&nbsp; I believe his third is a Tye 21 but I do not have one of those. </p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/bh03.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>There are some other less common ones but none made this group.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
