BACTRIANUMIS - Ancient and Islamic Rare Coins & Antiques
A very warm welcome to BACTRIANUMIS – our online project offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of Ancient and Islamic Rare Coins & Antiques
We are a team of experts and connoisseurs specializing in the History and Archaeology of Central Asia, eager to share our passion for Oriental Numismatics and Antiquity
Although our scope of interest and expertise is vast, this project primarily focuses on the historical region of Bactria (also known as Bactriana) – an ancient territory located in the heart of Central Asia, between the Hindu Kush Mountains and the Amu Darya (ancient Oxus River), now part of present-day Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan
The coins and antiques featured on our website represent just a small portion of the cultural and historical heritage of Bactria, ranging from the Achaemenid era, through Alexander the Great’s conquest, the Central Asian Hellenistic kingdoms, and Nomadic empires and confederations, all the way to the Islamic period
Other historical regions covered by our project include ancient areas such as Khorasan, Gandhara, and Arachosia, which border modern Pakistan and form a gateway into India. These regions were traversed by Alexander the Great, the Great Mongols, the Mughals, and many other adventurers and explorers
From a commercial perspective, we believe that quality can be offered at a reasonable price. Therefore, we do our utmost to ensure satisfaction for numismatists of all levels, from beginners to the most sophisticated coin collectors
We are happy to consider discounts, particularly when purchasing multiple items or for returning collectors. We always aim to keep our pricing fair and competitive, but we are open to reasonable offers
We also view our project as an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals for whom Numismatics is not just a preferred “passe-temps” but also an uncontrollable urge to explore and learn about History
Yours sincerely
Team BACTRIANUMIS
