| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Ardoxsho (Ashi Vanghuhi, deity of fortune and prosperity) stands facing, with head turned to the right, attired in royal garments and wearing a stephane crown. She extends a cornucopia outward with both hands, symbolizing abundance and divine bounty. The Kushan tamgha dynastic symbol appears to the right in the field. A brief Bactrian legend naming the deity is inscribed within the field. The composition reflects the syncretic religious iconography typical of Kushan coinage, blending Iranian, Hellenistic, and Indian artistic traditions. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Huvishka's reign is one of the longest and most numismatically complex in Kushan history, producing an extraordinary range of divine types drawn from Bactrian, Indian, and Iranian pantheons — the broadest theological repertoire of any Kushan ruler. This particular type, catalogued under Göbl 286, belongs to a mature phase of his coinage when the gold standard remained stable, before the weight degradation that would accelerate under Vasudeva I.
The ANS Kushan corpus cross-reference at 749 places this issue firmly within the Bactrian mint sequence.
