<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2667497, member: 42773"]I like these issues because they present a wholly Indian aesthetic, not derivative of Greco-Roman coinage at all. Not that I don't love Greco-Roman aesthetics of course, but soooooo many Eastern issues are imitative of Western coins. I wish Eastern coiners had approached their craft the same way Eastern artists, musicians, and architects approached theirs. Even a layman can see that these coins are Indian in quality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
