| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure, likely a deity or the king in ceremonial posture, depicted frontally within the central field. The figure is shown with outstretched arms, rendered in a schematic style typical of early Kushan hammered coinage. A Brahmi legend encircles the design, filling the peripheral field around the central motif, with individual akshara characters distributed around the figure. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kujula Kadphises was the founder of the Kushan Empire, unifying the five Yueban tribes of the Yuezhi confederation sometime in the early first century AD. His coinage is among the earliest evidence we have for the political consolidation of what would become one of the great Silk Road powers. This type imitates Hermaeus, the last Indo-Greek king, a deliberate iconographic choice that signaled legitimacy to populations still familiar with Hellenistic rule.
Senior's reference places this squarely in the early Kushan sequence before weight standards stabilized under later rulers.
