<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3503514, member: 98035&quot;]I always find it fascinating when a civilization digs up a long-obsolete coin and decides to base their circulating coinage on it. No danger of me owning one of those in the near future, but I have been tempted more than a few times to collect the Zangid and Artuqid bronzes that copy Roman and even Seleucid coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another interesting example are the Kashmiri bronze &quot;staters&quot; which copy an obsolete (by ~300 years) Hunnic coin of Toramana II, which in turn is based on the gold staters of the Kushans.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
