Shariq Khan Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Thanks NumisMattic2200 My avatar coin is dated back to 2nd -3rd Century BC known as Tribal Coin -Type 1 (PRINCEP ) of Ujjaini. It has many symbols as I discussed earlier on Coinpeople.com . Four rings connected across symbol is known as Ujjaini Symbol. There is also a tree in fence to the left of it. Above it Pond of water with Fish and Turtle accompanied with Six Armed Symbol and River at the bottom. This coin is believed to circulated inside the city and not a imperial coin.

Vfox Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Thanks NumisMattic2200 My avatar coin is dated back to 2nd -3rd Century BC known as Tribal Coin -Type 1 (PRINCEP ) of Ujjaini.

That's pretty interesting Shariq, your avatar looked very abstract until you described each scene taking place. I can see each detail very clearly now, thank you for sharing. I've always been interested in non-European ancient coins, unfortunately there is very little information to be found on them. It's nice to have some members who seem to know about this field of numismatics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
