[QUOTE="Ancientnoob, post: 1706514, member: 44140"]I don't shop F. Robinson and I am not an "Old Timer" but I would like to learn, whatever it is to learn, I hope I can get in on this. Does the script actually say anything? I was under the impression that the script is blundered Greek. Is that true? Only true for some rulers? Or not true at all. I have but one Elymais coin... Kingdom of Elam King KAMNASKIRES VI Late 1st cent BC to early 1st century AD Billon Tetradrachm 16.10 g x 29 mm obv: diademed bust of king right rev: male bust left with garbled legend ref: Seaby 5889 (I have not verified this attribution, because I do not have this text) I was able to confirm the attribution based on like coins for sale. When I say like coin, what I mean is having the same obverse and reverse devices and portraits. [ATTACH]261310.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]261311.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
