[QUOTE="bgarg, post: 969881, member: 1876"]Very nice coins, Steve. The later Kushan period is known as Kidara period and most of their coin designs were stylized copy of earlier Kushan period coins (of Vasu Deva's mostly). Most of the kidara hoards found in Northern Indian region had gold coins and very few copper coins. So, the copper kidara coins are somewhat scarce then gold coins, however many collector find these copper coins unattractive hence these can be purchased reasonably. The obverse figure is a stylized figure of what you find on most of Vasu Deva's copper coins, Shiva with Nandi bull. And the reverse is also stylized copy of Vasu Deva's coin with King sacrificing and trident above altar. Regards, Ballabh Garg[/QUOTE]
