<p>[QUOTE="Parthicus, post: 2696320, member: 81887"][USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER] and [USER=74712]@FitzNigel[/USER]: FitzNigel's post is correct on both points: The caduceus-like symbol of three circles with a line through it is believed to mark coins of Ashoka, but since all the Indian punch marked coins of that era are anonymous, it's ultimately a guess. A highly educated, carefully deduced guess, but still a guess. I have one such coin attributed to Ashoka, but it is in the safety deposit box and I don't have a photo. It's similar to your two examples.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
