Afghanistan? ID help
« on: January 30, 2024, 11:47:43 am »
I could use some advice on sources to help identifying what I believe is a medieval coin - I was told it is from Afghanistan. Any advice?

The Hindu Shahis of Kabul and Gandara ruled over roughly these dates: 750-921 AD. These Bull and Horseman types were used by many other kingdoms over the years in central Asia and India. Look up Tye on Numiswiki for a link to his type listing for all these coins. They are fascinating coins. I love them.
