<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1951862, member: 19463&quot;]Regarding tamgha as it applies to coins:&nbsp; Each king used a slightly different tamgha from the king that preceded him.&nbsp;&nbsp; Notice the tamgha of Kaniska has side &#039;ears&#039; that turn down while Vima&#039;s went up.&nbsp; Next come Huviska who has the bottom structure replaced with what looks like legs with upturned feet.&nbsp; All of these have the four prong top.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]342309[/ATTACH] </p><p>Most Soter Megas tamghas have three prongs on top but there are some rare ones with four.&nbsp; Most seem to take this as a mint variation but I wonder if scholars are certain about this.&nbsp; The one below is a small size (drachm) and my only one with the four prongs.&nbsp; There are some that have four on one side and three on the other (I can&#039;t explain that either). </p><p>[ATTACH=full]342310[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
