Found it in a lot of mostly junk AE from Ptolemaic Egypt and Roman from the same region - it clearly isn&#039;t Greek or Roman. The style suggests Kushan, but they didn&#039;t make AE coinage that small. Too clean to be Kashmir Smast, and Kushano-Sassanian doesn&#039;t fit either. I have honestly no clue where or when this coin was made; not even a guess, and that <i><b>fascinates</b></i> me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, it&#039;s hard to make out, but the reverse figure just might have a face, too</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1195370[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
