Message:: [QUOTE="TIF, post: 2314297, member: 56859"]Hi Jonny, welcome.  Sorry about your uncle. Your coin isn't 1000 years old, it is ~ 2000 years old, maybe a little older <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I agree with Pellinore.  I'm guessing Indo-Scythian-- an area I don't know much about, but you can look for similar coins on Wildwinds and various auction archives.   Try looking through <a href="http://www.cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?PAGE_NUM=&PAGE=1&TABS_TYPE=2&CONTAINER_TYPE_ID=1&IS_ADVANCED=1&ITEM_DESC=indo-scythian&ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_4=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?PAGE_NUM=&PAGE=1&TABS_TYPE=2&CONTAINER_TYPE_ID=1&IS_ADVANCED=1&ITEM_DESC=indo-scythian&ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_4=1" rel="nofollow">CNG's archives with search term "Indo-Scythian"</a> and see if you can find a match.  There is writing on your coin which will tell you the king's name.  I'm not good with these "Eastern" coins but several people on CoinTalk can probably give you a more accurate identification. Here are your images, edited for ease of viewing. [ATTACH=full]466768[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
