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."
