<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2509934, member: 42773&quot;]Well here&#039;s what I&#039;ve managed to decipher so far. I had the reverse orientation wrong. Plant says the object in the center is called a <i>stupa</i> or <i>chaitya</i>, a religious shrine. Above are two crescents and to the right a star comprised of dots, wavy line underneath.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve made out the word MaHaKsaTraPaSa. I&#039;ve learned that the A vowel is given by vertical lines across the tops of the letters, and the Ks (or Ksh) and Tr are compound ashkaras.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, I have to leave this project for today. It looks like there may be enough remnants of other letters to fully attribute the coin by inscription, or at least by other devices, but <b>please don&#039;t tell me!</b> Let me see if I can do it on my own steam. Just let me know if I&#039;m wildly off. I&#039;ll get back to it tomorrow...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]533650[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Damn, Greek is so much easier.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
