| 表面の銘文 | ÞA[ONANOÞAO KANHÞ]KI KOÞANO (Translation: King [of kings Kanish]ka the Kushan) |
| 裏面の説明 | Full-length figure of the Zoroastrian fire deity Athsho (Atar) standing facing, with head turned to the left. The deity is depicted in Kushan court dress, holding a diadem or fillet in the right hand, a symbol of divine investiture. The figure is rendered in a frontal stance with stylized drapery, consistent with the Hellenistic-influenced Kushan iconographic tradition. The Bactrian inscription naming the deity appears in the field. The reverse, like the obverse, is struck on an irregular flan typical of this quarter-dinar denomination. |

Kanishka I expanded the Kushan Empire to its greatest territorial extent, stretching from the Ganges plain into Central Asia, and his coinage reflects a deliberate syncretism — Greek, Iranian, and Indic divine figures all appear across his issues as instruments of legitimacy across a polyglot empire. The quarter dinar, struck at roughly half the weight of the full dinar, served frontier and small-transaction demand in a monetary zone where denominations needed to flex across radically different regional economies.
Kushan gold of this period draws on debased Parthian and Roman aurei in weight standards but was kept notably pure, likely to maintain trade credibility along the Silk Road routes running through Bactria.
