<p>[QUOTE="Parthicus, post: 3064048, member: 81887"]Interesting! I think it is Indo-Parthian, based on the design (I don't think the seated archer reverse occurs on coins of Persis) and also metal (bronze is rare for Persis but the usual metal for India-Parthian). But, what's weird is that the archer on your coin is clearly facing left, and every Into-Parthian of Sanabares and successors I have ever seen has the archer facing to the right. Possibly a contemporaneous imitation of India-Parthian by somebody who mirrored the reverse? Anyone else have an idea, or know some similar published coin with this reverse?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
