摘要

Three coins of the Khotan horse, or Sino-Kharosthi, style from Xinjiang province of China were recently obtained from a coin dealer. Because the archaeological context of these coins remains unknown, we conducted chemical and stylistic analyses to help determine their authenticity. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and wavelength dispersive X-ray (WDX or microprobe) measurements indicate that they are red (pure) copper and bronze coins, with one coin containing 4.2% Ag. Metal content and the presence of secondary minerals formed through weathering indicate that these are authentic ancient coins that were buried in a dry environment. All three coins bear Chinese characters; one shows Kharosthi, and two display Brahmi, a popular language in Khotan from A.D. 260 to 282. This indicates that the Sino-Brahmi coins were made slightly later than the Sino-Kharosthi coins, which were made before A.D. 260. These specimens represent the first Sino-Brahmi coin and 20-zhu coin ever reported in the literature.
