Need help with identification.

#1 Unread post by KevyKev »

Hello all, I recently bought a small collection and in it was this coin marked "ancient Roman" I cannot find anything that looks like this online. Seems like its not Roman but maybe Kushan? I'm not new to coins overall but ancients are new to me. Any ideas?

It is a Tetradrachm - Puri Kushana from ancient India. You can read more about it here:
