<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1389419, member: 26302&quot;]As many know, I am getting more into Central Asian. I have been looking for this one for a while, and as luck would have it I have two coming in the mail, but this one came up for auction in the meantime. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]165778.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I got it cheap, (what I consider cheap for it). Can you think of a more representative coin of these ancient traders crossing Asia than a picture of their two hump camels? The reverse shows a fire alter, showing the cultural influence of the Sassanids on their culture. Its a pretty scarce coin, even amongst other sogdian issues. There is another type with the camel, but on the reverse instead is a horizontal line instead of an alter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, the coin is MUCH better in hand, much more detailed and not missing design elements like it looks like here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
