Ahin Posh
Ahan Posh or Ahan Posh Tape (Persian: Iron covered place) is an ancient archaeological site in Orakzai in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. It is near the Afghanistan city of Jellalabad. A relic deposit was found in the ruins of the Buddhist monastery at Ahin Posh. The deposit included a Gandharan golden amulet inset with garnets, in which coins of the Kushan king Kanishka were found together with a gold coin of the Roman emperor Trajan and empress Sabina (which were minted between 128-137 AD). This deposit now forms part of the collections of the British Museum.[1][2]
