A New Hoard from Tibba Pīr Abdul Rehman, Jhang (Punjab), Pakistan

A Preliminary Report

Abstract

A hoard consisting of 180 gold and 65 silver coins along with two gold ornaments has recently been reported from Pīr Abdul Rehman, an old village in Ahmadpur Siāl Tehsil, district Jhang, Punjab (Pakistan). It is an interesting and valuable discovery made in this part of Punjab. It represents the coins of five dynasties of different origin. Most of these dynasties were contemporaries, while the Late Kushans were somewhat earlier. In this respect, it helps to know about the sequence and chronology of various dynasties. The coins obviously indicate its deposition during the later decades of the 5th century CE.
