<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nathan B., post: 7365818, member: 112852&quot;]A dealer friend I know who specializes in Canadian decimals asked me to identify and price out a few &quot;ancient&quot; coins for him.&nbsp; As it happens, what I have been learning about ancient coins is mostly about ancient Greek coins, with a bit about ancient Roman. For the record, even though I&#039;m Canadian, the dealer is actually not me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> That said, I think helping him is a good opportunity for me to learn about ancient/medieval coinage.&nbsp; He&#039;s also a genuinely nice fellow I&#039;ve known for over ten years, so there&#039;s that, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1283635[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Using Doug Smit&#039;s page at <a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/bh.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/bh.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/bh.html</a>, I think this is a &quot;bull and horseman&quot; jital &quot;Spalapati Deva&quot; coin from ancient Afghanistan, but I&#039;m not sure if I&#039;ve identified it correctly as Spalapati Deva.&nbsp; It&#039;s about 17 mm in diameter.</p><p><br /></p><p>A second coin, but in a lower grade, is below:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1283637[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone can help me with more precise identification, and especially with values, however approximate, please do respond.&nbsp; Other comments are also very welcome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
