« on: January 29, 2020, 09:17:04 pm »
 just purchased an interesting Indian Ar coin.  It appears to be  Maitrakas of Valabhi drachma.  It measures  13.03 mm and weighs 2.31 g  The king appears to have a beard.  Is my attribution correct?  Pogh_poor

I believe that the inscription may match that of King Bhattaraka, 470-492 AD, founder of the Maitrakas Dynasty.  Pogh_poor
