Coins derive their value from their rarity, condition, visual appeal and - most importantly – the size of their collector base. Our specialists are experienced at assessing preservation and identifying details that distinguish a common coin from a valuable one.

What happens if I’m not entirely happy with my purchase?
On bullion products the price of goods are linked to underlying metal prices or financial markets and all sales are final, there are no refunds or exchanges. There is no statutory right to return or cancel an order once placed under the Financial Services (Distance Marketing) Regulations 2004 or Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
However, for non-bullion items, should you be unhappy with your purchase or it is in any way not as described we will accept refunds within 14 days of you receiving your item(s). If uncertain about a purchase, we encourage our clients to ask any questions beforehand so as to minimise the time our valuable coins spend in transit.
Kushan Empire / Kidarites, 'Gadahara' (c.320s-350s), gold Dinar, king standing facing, holding trident and sacrificing over altar, second trident in left field, Brahmi characters KaPa, PiRyaSa, GaDaHaRa, rev. Ardoksho enthroned, tamga in field, 7.78g (Mitchiner ACW 3592; Göbl MK 608). Ochre patina, king and goddess both well-centred on a generous blank, clear Brahmi characters, about extremely fine.
Three external forces are represented in this enigmatic series, struck towards the end of the Kushan Empire. Both the mighty Samudragupta and the Kushano-Sasanian Peroz/Firuz (called 'PiRyaSa' on this coin) are known to be cited, and it has also been suggested that these coins were actually issued by the Kidarite Huns just prior to their invasion and conquest. Certainly, it was a political landscape in flux and subject to the ambitions of neighbouring rulers. Furthermore, even the nature of 'Gadahara' is a matter for further discussion and research as to whether it was an individual, a group of people or indeed a geographical region.
