[Ancient] SCYTHIANS. Uncertain (The Dahae?). Circa 1st century BC. AR Drachm (3.69 gm). Crude head left with trace of a beard / Blank. Cf. Senior p. 215, A8 (Skythians in Sogdiana); cf. MIG 655 (Dahae). Near VF, horn silver encrustation. ($200)

This appears to be a later derivation of the referenced Scythian drachms with archer reverse. It was supposedly found with a small group of Parata Raja drachms (cf. Senior 295-299).
