<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sulla80, post: 3238837, member: 99456&quot;]Thanks THCoins - I wish the dates on these coins were always as clear (and on coin) as they are on the one above.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I am still trying to full see the obverse and understand the denomination on the Maitraka coin - are the dots the neckline of the kings bust?&nbsp; Your portrait coin seems very different to the Maitraka coin I have above.&nbsp; My coin is also much smaller and thicker 2.1g and 12-13mm compared with the Vijayasena drachm.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For anyone else interests in coins of the Western Kshatraps, I am grateful to Pankaj Tandon for this excellent introductory guide which has allowed me to get reasonably comfortable reading the script on the coins - although I found the double strike on the obverse of my example above harder than most, and routinely struggle with the partial legends and being able to recognize the father and son&#039;s names.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://people.bu.edu/ptandon/WK-Legends.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://people.bu.edu/ptandon/WK-Legends.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://people.bu.edu/ptandon/WK-Legends.pdf</a></p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]847295[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
