<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1545780, member: 26302"]Indo Greek, (Bactrian), can be tough, but also interesting. While you can get them that are definitely Greek, you will find loads of these that don't quite "look right". Right after the Indo greeks there were massive migrations of people through those same areas. They simply made inferior imitations of the coins the greeks made, so the hobby is replete with indo-greek copies made by the Scythians, yueh chi, local issues in Taxila, etc. The problem is WHO made particular copies is not always known, so its a moving target, but sure makes for an interesting collecting area. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have indo greek copies I have no bloody idea who struck them or when, but I still love them. Maybe some day an answer will come. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
