English: PUNCHMARKED COINAGE
KUSHANO-SASSANIANS M1265A Ardeshir I, c.230-271? AE17-18 Bust of bearde King wearing bird helmet, Carter 2, Cribb 17, Gobl 1029/1 Two specimens available, G-Vg/AF bright (cleaned), or dark Vg+ Each: WAS$75.00, now $50.00 INDO-GREEK YAUDHEYAS : COINS AND MOULDS Post-Kushan dynasty ruling from the Ganges Valley to Punjab c. 190-340 AD. This series 3rd to early 4th Cent AD according to Mitchiner. Kushan style AE Unit (avg. 11 gm, 23-26mm) with Karttikeya standing, holding sceptre, legend around, Rev: Diety standing with right arm raised, left akimbo. Clay moulds first came to light in the early 1980's at Sunet, Punjab, now a suburb of Chandigarh and and were officially excavated 1983-84. The moulds are still controversial, for while they are clearly from the Yaudheya period, it is not certain whether they represent mint production or a forgery operation. Earlier Yaudheyan coin series were cast, but there is uncertainty over whether this "class 6" coinage is struck or cast. A running discussion on the topic can be found here. Moulds are graded Sharp, Clear, or Poor but even the best of them do not show full details. The coins and moulds in this offering were purchased from different sources at different times.
