    I recognised the horse so had a look at some of the coins I have.

    This is Indo-Parthian c50AD. About the size of a one cent coin. Worth about €10.

    It took 2000 years to get here and its only worth a €10 .............

    Fascinating item to me ! Just to think of all the greasy palms thats been in !

    It's been the fly on the wall over the course of modern history, if only it could speak
