| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Nana (Nanashao) depicted nimbate and standing facing, her body slightly turned to the right, with spiked hair bound by a diadem. She holds a wand surmounted by a horse protome in her right hand at waist level and a bowl or patera in her left hand, with a hooked sword emerging from behind her figure. The composition reflects strong Sogdian and Iranian religious iconographic traditions syncretized within Kushan coinage. A Bactrian legend in Greek-derived script surrounds the divine figure in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Huvishka ruled the Kushan Empire at its territorial peak, and his coinage is among the most theologically diverse of the ancient world — a deliberate reflection of the empire's position at the crossroads of Hellenistic, Iranian, and Indian religious traditions. Nana, a goddess of Sogdian and Bactrian origin with roots stretching back to Mesopotamian Inanna, appears on Kushan coins as a marker of the dynasty's deep ties to the Oxus region's older religious substrate.
Göbl 165 places this fraction among subsidiary mint output, distinct from the main Kushan atelier, with minor fabric and die axis variations characteristic of provincial production.
