I got a few of them for you.
Thanks. Any one care to try the Bactrians (or at least those in the green background picture)?
Given my ignorance on the coins of these regimes, a little more detail would also be appreciated. I don't even know what Millenium some of these coins come from, let alone century or year,
nor what the
denominations are,
nor what the name of the regime was (I'm guessing "
Kushan" but that is just a guess; I guess they are names of kings which you appended(?). NB I'm not looking for
catalogue numbers or detailed descriptions, just approximate dates and
denominations and names of kings/regimes.
I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but I can assure you that it's not especially critical to answer them - I just wanted a caption to put below the photo from the BM display case that listed what the coins were (the BM case helpfully describes them as
Kushan and
Bactrian with no more detail).
For those looking forward to the BM's new
money gallery, I'm told that the coin descriptions will be exceptionally minimal. "Object: Coin. Material: Bronze. Era: Ancient
Rome, 753 BC to 491 AD" will be the format (give or take).
