Sassinian Kings of India Gold Dinar (after 350 AD) AU
Struck sometime after the year 350 AD, this gold dinar offers a window into the ancient world of the Sassinian Empire in India. Weighing approximately 0.225 troy ounces, the coin is a testament to the artistry and metalwork of a bygone era, preserved in an impressive Almost Uncirculated state. The obverse side of the coin depicts the ruler standing and facing left. In this detailed scene, the king holds a trident while performing a ritual sacrifice at an altar, reflecting the ceremonial duties of ancient kingship. On the reverse, the coin features the deity Siva, who is shown standing with a bull positioned behind him. This powerful pairing of figures on a single gold piece highlights the rich cultural and religious imagery that circulated throughout the region centuries ago.
