Also included is the 25 rials from 1989- 1991 to celebrate the oil industry and agriculture, which are the mainstay of the country’s economy. The other two coins are a 1 and 5 rial coin from the latter years of the reign of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and show the Imperial coat of arms and crown of Iran.

Picture of India, Ancient India, Elephant Copper Coin

India, Ancient India, Elephant Copper Coin

We were offered a group of ancient Indian copper coins recently; they were issued between 59- 131 AD. They have an elephant on one side and some circles on the other side. They were very crudely struck; after all, they were a very low denomination at the time. They are from Satavahanas, Pulomavi in India. We went through 2,000 coins in the hoard and picked out the best ones available. We went for the best elephants that we could find, in fact, we bought only 10% of the hoard, and these were the only ones that we thought were of sufficient quality for our customers. A very old coin but it won’t cost you the earth. As the elephant is now endangered, we think this ancient coin is very appropriate.

Picture of Constantinople Commemorative Coin

Constantinople Commemorative Coin

This is a very interesting Ancient Roman commemorative coin of Constantine the Great. It was issued to commemorate the founding of Constantinople. You have the bust of Constantine the Great on one side and a standing goddess with wings on the other. Roman commemorative coins tend to be scarce and expensive. This is one of only two commemoratives that is both reasonable and available. They are struck in copper and we have them in Fine, they represent a very important historic event.

Azes II_obv

Silver Drachm of Azes II

This beautiful Silver Drachm was struck between 35 B.C. and A.D. 10 in the reign of the Indo-Scythian king Azes II, from what is now modern Pakistan. The coins from the Indo-Greeks and Indo-Scythians are thought to be the first bi-lingual coin as the legends are in Kharoshti and Greek. They grade Very Fine with the obverse showing the king on horseback and on the reverse Athena standing left. In America, these are sometimes sold as a coin from one the Three Wise Men at Christ’s birth because he was known as the ‘King from the East’.
