[QUOTE="EWC3, post: 4350970, member: 93416"]Am not looking forward to your worst one :) It is 426. Issued al marco to a c. 3.43g standard. But to judge from the heavy wear, this specimen probably circulated for a century or more after the collapse of the Mauryan empire I would welcome a second opinion here. The engraving of the symbols is poor, which indicates it is a very late issue – just as the Empire collapsed. It looks like the very common type 575, but if so, there should be a pair of taurines under the ‘flag’, and I see no trace of them. Maybe it is so badly engraved the guy just missed them off? But it is odd that Terry H did not make this a sub-variety if so. Have I missed something? However - given the points I make elsewhere - my efforts here seem rather like fiddling while Rome burns.
