Æ Stater - Alchon Huns Toramana II

Toramana II ruled the Alchon Huns during a period of serious contraction, as Sasanian pressure and the rise of the Western Türk Khaganate steadily eroded Hunnic territorial control across Bactria and Gandhara. He is often confused with the earlier Toramana I, who campaigned deep into the Indian subcontinent in the late 5th century — the two are now distinguished primarily through numismatic evidence, this coinage among it.

Copper staters of this type circulated in regions where the monetary economy had already been badly disrupted by decades of conflict, and die workmanship deteriorated sharply across the series, with late strikes often nearly illegible.
