<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1768387, member: 26302&quot;]This coin has always been troubling. Just from the outset Doug I will say I never agreed with Nezak attribution, unless very late, (which we will get tto). Just from the beginning though, if you look at this coin what do you see? A coin the size of a drachm but poorly done and in copper. What style does it imitate closest? Does it have that pseudo indian curved style like other nezak coins or look more like upright Alchon coins? Another problem with&nbsp; a nezak attribution is they HAD a bronze coinage system already.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, what the coin is telling us&nbsp; its eitber a debased Alchon coin, (which would also be nezak and kidarite since by this time the remnants joined together in swat valley), or a alchon bronze, (doubtful due to quality), or someone else just imitating an alchon coin, (poorly). In any case, I reject the name nezak for these.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, there seemes a lot of these 15 years ago. I think I own ten or so. Btw, the coin does come with some&nbsp; evidence of a reverse outside the incuse, so i have no idea how they were struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry no pics, doing this from my phone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
