[QUOTE="THCoins, post: 1964756, member: 57364"]I would not immediately recommend the real standard works by Boppearachchi and Senior. They generally are a bit "to much" for the average collector". The Kushan and later imitations are covered in the book by Pieper "Ancient Indian Coins Revisited". It is concise, but not to superficial. A general overview of Indo-Greek and Indo-Scythians can be found in the recent book by Hoover: "Handbook of coins of Bactria and ancient India". This also covers some punchmarked coins. It has some flaws, and you won't find all the mint-mark variations in it. But i would still recommend it to collectors with more than a little interest in these series. For the Kushan, there is a nice dedicated website. Though i don't think it is updated much any more. [url]http://www.kushan.org/[/url][/QUOTE]
