Kanishka king (Kushan) silver coin
« on: June 19, 2018, 07:18:29 am »
Hello,

What do you think about this silver coin of Kanishka, a king kushan :

It is written on the face side "PAONANO PAO KANHPKI KOPANO" and "OKPO" on the other side.

Diameter 20mm and weight 3,4gr.

True or false ?

Cordially,

David,

it seems there are no Kushan specialists looking at this page now. I would think you might get more information if you placed your question in the 'Fake Coin Reports, Notorious Sellers, and Discussions' section of the Forum site.

The Kushans did not mint silver; at least not for long after Kujula Kadphises united the Yuezhi. (See issues of "Heraios")

This type is supposed to be a gold stater (or dinar, aureus, whatever) and is not known in silver. It is almost certainly fake.
