Central Asia, Hunnic Tribes, Silk Road Region, Local Issue (Circa 5th-8th centuries AD), Imitating Indo-Parthian style. Gold Bracteate.
0.46gm, 16.8mm, Found in Silk Road region.
Diademed and draped bust left (possibley imitating Pakores 1st century AD), immersed from the large moon / Incuse of obverse.
Zeno-385618 (It's me there, 1st). Extremely fine, unique.
An attractive type of cross-cultural interest as we have never seen like it before none in coin archives or acsearch or zeno, a nice example that belongs to the great Silk Road in Northwest India, Afghanistan, Central Asia and China. Unique and very interesting which undoubtedly make it one of the most desirable piece of history available to collectors.
