| 正面描述 | Frontal facing bust of the ruler Buddhamitra occupying the entire field, depicted en face with a broad, stylized visage and large almond-shaped eyes. The effigy is surmounted by an elaborate crown adorned with foliate and flame-like cresting, flanked by ribbon-like diadematic streamers falling to each side. A prominent beaded necklace encircles the neck, and the shoulders are framed by flowing drapery rendered in the Kushano-Sasanian artistic tradition. The entire design is contained within a beaded border following the irregular flan. |

The Kidarites emerged in Bactria during the mid-4th century AD, filling the power vacuum left by the declining Kushano-Sasanian rulers. Buddhamitra is among the better-documented Kidarite rulers through coinage alone — no contemporary literary source names him directly. His silver drachms follow the degraded Kushan weight standard rather than the heavier pre-reform issues, reflecting how thoroughly the monetary infrastructure of the region had contracted by his reign.
Göbl's Kushan sequence places this type relatively late in Kidarite production. The silver is typically debased by this period.
