<p>[QUOTE="Ancientnoob, post: 1768160, member: 44140"]Not being an expert and purely on guess I would suspect the coin was not made with enough metal. I believe there is nothing in the obverse left field besides the remnants of the headdress. The dating might be right but I believe the Nezak were later around 650-700 AD. Your coin possess a similar bust to the silver coins attributed to Alchon Huns. I think this would favor the 480's date. I noticed there is a lot of guess work being applied to these coins. I believe these traditionally have two - 8 spoked wheels in the upper reverse fields and the fire altar and attendants motif. I have looked at a lot of similar coins and have developed a sound interest in these. I am not the best person to pose theories but to me they make sense. Maybe Medoraman man who knows a lot about these guys can add more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
