NOTE: According
to Milne, "These later issues [of large bronze] were apparently
of a commemorative character, and intended as medals rather than
coins; and it may be noted in connection with this that the examples
of these issues found at Behnesa show very little sign of wear,
herein contrasting markedly with the extremely rubbed condition
in which nearly all the earlier bronze coins are found, and that
an unusually large proportion of those specimens
are pierced."
