<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1631257, member: 26302&quot;]Nice details, especially on the tamgha. </p><p><br /></p><p>For those who don&#039;t follow central asian coins, the tamgha was a terribly important symbol. It basically was a symbol of a group in power. Since most people were illiterate, symbols were more important than words, and by displaying their tamgha on coins, rock carvings, and other items a group could show everyone who is running things. Most major groups north of India and East of Persia had personal tamghas.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have many different types of these. Its a fascinating series, with multitudes of gods depicted. Some were greek, others Indian, still others local, and even one example of Buddha. You want to spend some money? Buy one of these depicting Buddha, (Boddo). Very rare coins, and highly sought after.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
