<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4224131, member: 19463&quot;]This is not one I see often and probably most people would not want to.&nbsp; It is attributed th Kujula Kadphises c.15 AD and copies a coin of Hermaios.&nbsp; Mitchiner (page 389) lists several variations of this overstruck on earlier coins.&nbsp; This is a mess but has a decent portrait of Hermaios &quot;for these&quot; and was really cheap in a 2006 FSR sale.&nbsp; I have it cataloged as a Kushan.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1081152[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>My other Hermaios is from the end of his reign (40 BC-1BC) when Sear (note after SG 7738) explains ended a series of debasements with fully AE tetradrachms.&nbsp; This one has silver wash. I have been unable to find a match for the controls mark in reverse field and Mitchiner lists a lot of them.&nbsp; This may be one Mitchiner notes as issued several years after the death of Hermaios or a plated forgery copying one of the normally better silver coins of an earlier period.&nbsp; I know nothing that helps with this coin that came to me in 1991.&nbsp; Does anyone?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1081171[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have a normal coin of this ruler[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
