Do you have a bit more coin-description of your new, cool coin?

Great coin, Mark,

Thanks guys.

Here is my most recent purchase. Bactria. Menander I Soter (ca. 155-130 BC). AR Indic drachm (17mm, 1h)

Beautiful coin mark!

quadrans · « **Reply #41 on:** December 01, 2019, 02:35:07 pm »

I agree, great coin

Q.

Anaximander · « **Reply #42 on:** December 02, 2019, 04:43:24 pm »

That Menander drachm is above awesome. The attribution (HGC 12, 188. Bopearachchi 6c) is spot on. Here's more: MIG 2 Type 221d; BMC 42; SNG ANS 9 #715-721. Bopearachchi's examples of series 6c are coins #23 and 24 on plate 27.

Wow, congrats on adding those last two beauties (I had examples of both and I loved them "in-hand")

You are definitely amassing a sweet, sweet collection (keep-up the awesome work)

Cheers
