<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2664785, member: 76194&quot;]Here, I&#039;ve only shown off this coin once and got 4 likes as this is probably way outside the area of interest if 98% of the people here.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, this is easily one of my top 20 coins in my collection of 100+ ancients. It&#039;s cheap, it ain&#039;t glamorous, and poorly understood, but I really like it and that&#039;s all that matters.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I were collecting based on what others here like, I would have never bought this coin and so would have missed out on the personal pleasure it brings me. I spend far more time holding this coin and looking at it, thinking about it, etc., than I do some of my Roman and Greek coins. And why not? Those coins are well known and not mysterious, while this one is a mystery waiting to be heard and properly understood.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]591889[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Unknown Sindh or Multan Kingdom</b></p><p><b>AR Unit (Circa 7th or 8th Century CE)</b></p><p><b>Dots and dashes perhaps representing a fire altar, Brahmi letters below; Ha Shi</b></p><p><b>Reverse blank as made</b></p><p><b>16mm, 1.24g</b></p><p><b>Fishman, JONS 201, Type 7A</b></p><p>*Coin belongs to a newly discovered series still not properly understood.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
