Kavadh drachm
« on: June 27, 2010, 05:04:22 am »
One more time I have doubts with the interpretation of the inscriptions of a sassanian drachm.
The dealer indicates Balkh as mint, but it seems to me to read rather BSh (?)
About the date I think that it is the year 11 (=498 ), but even there how to differentiate 11 and 13?

Thank you very much Thomas.
The interpretation of these characters is a real headache.  :-\
