Hi to all,

I have 4 coins from Kushan Empire but I can't match with the ones published in the web under Ancient India coins. The first 3 coins I think are all Kushan Empire, only the 4th I am not sure but it looks like.

I hope you can help me by sending me the links of those coins.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Coin1 is Vasudeva type, https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces63879.html

Coin 2 is https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces66262.html

Coin 3 is https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces66261.html

Coin 4 is not in Numista. Looks like that of apollodotus I or II but too worn for proper id.

Dear Sujit,

Thank you a lot for your help. I really appreciate your effort.
Dear Sujit, I have also few other Ancient India coins, i think one of them is Jital from Dynastie Chauhan and the other one Jital from Dynastie Ghaznavid or Dynastie Ghurid, but i am not sure. Are you interested looking them?

Thank you in advance
Sure you can post them

Thank you a lot,

Here are the coins, all of them I bought in Afghanistan, so I believe has to do also with ancient India, Ghaznavid, Kushan and so on. I would be happy if you can identify them in Numista and send me links.

Thanks for the help. When i go home i will check the diameter and tell you. When i bought to coin the seller told me that is minted in Ghazni, I don't know if this can help you, but i just wanted to share with you.

I guess the second coin is not listed in Numista right??
That's right. You can add it to Numista.

Well the coin has diameter of approx 18-20 mm, thickness +5 mm, and regarding the weight it should be smth little less than 20 gr (sorry i wasn't able to find the weight machine :( )

Firstly i was thinking it can be a Falus coin, but i wasn't able to find one that matches to that one, so i have not clue what it is.
The weight seems comparable to a Mughal Dam. Please match your coin to one of these,

I was able to identify two letters, what do you think? Is that one


Not 100% sure if yours is Delhi mint. But it is a Akbar's Dam.
