which is nearly 1,900 years old and shows one of the earliest
depictions of Buddha is to be sold at auction where it is
expected to fetch up to $27,000.The coin, about the size of a finger nail, shows Buddha on one
side and the Indian ruler Kanishka I on the other and dates
from Kanisha's rule in the first quarter of the second century.It is one of only four such coins, and the first to go under the
hammer since 1991."[The coin will be auctioned by Morton & Eden Ltd on
November 23. -Editor]To read the full article, see: Full Story
