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. The ruins of a Buddhist monastery are located there, in which coins of the Kushan king Kanishka were found together with a golden amulet, and a gold coin of the Roman emperor Trajan and empress Sabina coined between 128-137 CE. These form part of the collections of the British Museum.[1]
