Shaikhan Dehri hoard
The Shaikhan Dheri hoard is a small coin hoard that was discovered in 2007 at the site of ancient Pushkalavati in modern-day Pakistan. The hoard weighed 14 kilograms, contained "bent bars" as well as round coins "of a new type" as those discovered in the Kabul hoard. The hoard contained a tetradrachm minted in Athens circa 500/490–485/0 BCE, or possibly as early as 520 BCE, together with a number of local types as well as silver cast ingots. The Athens coin is the earliest known example of its type to be found so far to the east. This hoard exists in the context of the Achaemenid conquest of the Indus Valley. It can also be related to another famous hoard in the region, the Kabul hoard.
