<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3077484, member: 19463"]I have seen the attribution to "Phromo Kesaro" before but am not convinced. The countermark "ΦRORO in Baktrian" sure looks like "ΦOPO" in Greek to me. That means "in tribute" and was used to refer to money brought in as tribute from a foreign state. I look at this mark rather like the UK silver marked "Lima" (the silver was captured in raids on the Spanish settlements in the New World). I see four letters, not five.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]774374[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
