<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 4576151, member: 72790"]I do not actively collect these Indo Greek coins but I have three that I picked up at a coin show, one the silver drachma of Antialkidas (?) which I think is Sear 7693 (2.45 grams) and two from a junk box. I think the large bronze coin, 8.45 grams, is a Kushan, which I am not sure counts as an Indo Greek, with some Kushan ruler on the obverse and on the reverse I can make out the Mega Basileus but only the last letter of the name, a Greek rho. The other junk box find is, again I think, a low grade silver (billon) drachma (2.5 grams) and I can just make out another Basileus followed by a barely legible Megaxxxx with a ruler(?)[ATTACH=full]1132974[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1132975[/ATTACH] sitting on a horse. The reverse has what appears to be an Athena wielding a shield (promachos?) and some script I cannot make out. Since posters here are more likely to be familiar with the Greek Indo coinage and I am not at all familiar with them I would appreciate any more information on any of these three coins. Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
