Summary edit

Description
English: ANCIENT & MEDIEVAL

M3638    KIDARITES of Jamu & Kashmir Pratapaditya II, 5th C. AD debased gold stater. These must have been issued over a period of time, or different locations as there are differences in style and possibly metallic composition. I have chosen a M# mostly at random as a stocking code. See the photo (2X actual size) for specimens. Second choices will help! M3638A Thick, 19mm, weight range 7.10 - 7.49 gm F-VF, cleaned King's name mostly off flan    Available: Aa, Ab, Ae (OTHERS SOLD) Each $50 M3638B - King's name clearer    Available: Bb - Be Each $75 M3638C - King's name clearer or better style    Available: Ca, Cd (OTHERS SOLD) Each $95

M3640 Much nicer style, King's name clear, silver-gold appearance, not brssy VF-EF $150

M3639 Larger flan, crude style, long tail on "Sri," etc.   Available: Db $75

M3643 Thinner, 19mm, weight range 5.74 - 6.78 gm with a smoother, brassier look. Possibly a later issue. Vg-F   Available: Ec $60

M927a    VIJAYANAGAR    Srirangaraya III 1642-79 Gold Double Fannam seated Swami, R: raised circular area. One of the last coins of Vijayanagar, and a miniature version of the "Single Swami Pagoda" imitated by the European powers .76gm crude VF-EF 49.50.

This is a consignment of gold items. check back frequently, as more items are expected. Mughal is listed by Krause-Mishler numbers. Delhi Sultans by Goron-Goenka, and Gupta according to the Mitchiner Ancient & Classical type it most resembles. Scans are at 200% thus may appear at double actual size.
