1 Drachm - Anonymous Ruler Tokhara Yabghus, Kavad I imitation

The Tokhara Yabghus controlled Tokharistan as nominal vassals under the Western Turk qaganate, then navigated the collapse of that system and the advancing Arab armies — all within the span of a few decades straddling the early eighth century. Imitating a Sasanian Kavad I type more than two centuries after that king's death reflects how thoroughly Sasanian monetary conventions had embedded themselves across Central Asia as the default idiom of legitimate silver coinage.

Göbl's Hun sequence places this type within a broader continuum of post-Sasanian imitative issues where the issuing authority matters more than the portrait being copied.
