<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 25328568, member: 44140&quot;]This has always been a favorite coin of mine. I have seen a handful of examples sold over the years. Only a few are in as good a shape as this one and many are missing the gold plug. I always loved it since it is one of the few trilingual coins from antiquity. The counter mark has always been described as a thunderbolt, I think its some type of tamgha. </p><p><br /></p><p>Please share your coins of the Sassanian style, Huns, Hephthalites whatever you got, even if you have a contemporary coin please do share. </p><p><br /></p><p>VasuDeva of Zabulistan Turko-Hephthalite</p><p>Hunnic Afghanistan after AD 685</p><p>Afghanistan, Kabul</p><p>AR Drachm Senmerv Crown Type.
