[QUOTE="Ed Snible, post: 3064228, member: 82322"]Your reverse is facing in the opposite direction as all of the Sanabares examples I have seen, so I may be off base. There is a huge variety of style in the cones of Sanabares. This is what your coin reminds me of: Gondopharid Dynasty. Sanabares or Sanabares II.
