<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 2284005, member: 44140&quot;]Great question. The symbol is found only on coins local to Gandhara, from the dawn of coinage to about the time of Alexander. There is no Persian coin that even remotely looks like this neither in appearance or method of manfacture. This is what lead to the debate to the theory of an independent invention of coinage rather than one that spread from Persia. The connection between the weight of a Shatamana and a double that of a siglos seems to be a coincidence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
