Hello. I am trying to establish a rough retail value for the coin shown here. Based on previous ID help from kind members, I believe it is an Indo-Scythian Western Satraps silver coin struck around 200 AD. Ruler Viradaman. 2.3 grams 13 mm diameter 1 mm thickness Thanks!
Retail maybe $15. The obverse could probably be improved. I assume its not a fouree and the copper color is a deposit or lighting.
someone posted another of these recently with a nice reverse and damaged obverse didn't they? does look like bronze in there.
These coins should be very pure silver. The WS are actually noted for a long series of coins that maintained this purity debasing only slightly at the fall of the empire around AD 400. Also the WS issued silver 1/2 karshapana, bronze and lead coins. I am pretty sure that the bronze coins are not portrait coins.
Thank you all for your responses. I believe it is silver, and that the poor lighting used in my photos is causing the off color. Chrmat71, it is the same coin you commented on previously. Thanks again.
