[QUOTE="THCoins, post: 3130485, member: 57364"]Very nice collection, and very attractively presented ! I do have some doubts though on your use of the "Ohm" symbol in your avatar as a logo for this category. The Indo-Scythians flourished between roughly the second century BC to the third century AD. The Ohm symbol you use is a ligature in Devanagari script which came into use somewhere in the 11th century AD. "Ohm" as a sacred mantra was known before that in both Hinduism and Bhuddism. But for the Indo-Scythians, the symbol you use whould have no meaning at all. As a possible alternative you might look at the "triratna". This is a bhuddist symbol which was actually used on coinage of the era. Anthony[/QUOTE]
