<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2496753, member: 76194&quot;]Here is an interesting coin I picked up recently, all the way from what is today modern day Afghanistan. The Nezak dynasty was a local dynasty of Iranian Huns, which at some point came under the influence of the Turkic culture as it moved west towards eventual settlement in Anatolia. This particular coin is from the second dynasty, after they seemed to have broken away from Turkic influence. There really is not a lot to be known about these people, and even less about the second dynasty of the Nezaks. You can&#039;t even find a Wikipedia article on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, the coin is very cool.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]529189[/ATTACH] </p><p>Second Nezak Hun Dynasty</p><p>AR Unit</p><p>Attribution: Tye 4v</p><p>Date: 850-950 AD</p><p>Obverse: Mounted horseman with standard riding right</p><p>Reverse: Humped bull left</p><p>Size: 16.26mm</p><p>Weight: 2.25 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>I wish I could tell you more about these people, but I can&#039;t.
