| Beschrijving keerzijde | The lunar deity Selene rendered full-length, standing facing left, adorned with distinctive crescent-shaped lunar horns upon her head. She extends her right hand outward in a gesture of benediction while holding a long scepter in her left hand. The Kushan royal tamgha symbol appears to the left of the figure in the field. The Greek legend naming the deity is inscribed around the design. The depiction reflects the Kushan syncretism of Greek divine iconography with Central Asian religious traditions. |

Kanishka I expanded the Kushan Empire to its greatest territorial extent, controlling the Silk Road corridor between Rome and Han China and extracting enormous wealth from the transit trade — wealth that funded precisely this kind of heavy, consistent gold coinage. The Kushan dinar was deliberately calibrated close to the Roman aureus in weight to facilitate that commerce, and Kushan gold circulated as recognized tender well beyond imperial borders.
Göbl 26 is among the more frequently encountered die types in the Kanishka series, though "frequent" is relative for third-century Central Asian gold.
