EARLY SKYTHIANS. Anonymous. Circa 1st century BC. AR Drachm (16mm, 3.23 g). Head left / Blank. Cf. Senior p. 215, A8 (Skythians in Sogdiana); cf. MIG 655 (Dahae); CNG 69, 830. EF, minor spots of encrustation.
This appears to be a later derivation of the referenced Scythian drachms with archer reverse. The CNG 69 specimen was supposedly found with a small group of Parata Raja drachms (cf. Senior 295-299).
