1/4 Dinar - Kanishka I

Kanishka I expanded the Kushan Empire to its greatest territorial extent, pushing into the Gangetic plain and maintaining control of the Silk Road's central arteries. His coinage is among the most religiously syncretic in the ancient world — the reverse types catalogued across his issues name deities drawn from the Zoroastrian, Greek, Hindu, and Buddhist traditions, sometimes within the same hoard. The quarter dinar fraction was a practical denomination for small-scale Silk Road commerce where full dinars were too valuable for routine exchange.
