Sogdiana, Early Skythians AR Tetradrachm. 1st century BC - 1st century AD. Fire altar / Blank. Cf. Sasanian types for fire altar prototype; cf. Senior p. 215, A8 for other early Skythian coins of different types. 14.05g, 23mm.
Very Fine; graffito on reverse. Extremely Rare - the imitative series of the early Skythians, which in themselves are scarcely seen, usually depict devolved heads and this fire altar type is apparently unpublished for this area.
