Chr. Tetradrachme.: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΝ ΜΕΓΑΛΟΥ / ΜΑΟΥ Rev:"Maharajasa rajarajasa mahatasa moasa" in Kharoshthi script . Both inscriptions I believe mean King of Kings, Maues the Great.

ccg Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 The details on your piece are rather soft - it looks like it may be a cast copy in pewter or other white metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benz Gemz Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 I'm with ccg on this, that looks like a cast copy, could even be an old one, but not struck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
