| Additional information |
Huvishka's reign is the longest documented in Kushan history, stretching roughly four decades, and his coinage reflects that duration in its extraordinary religious variety — his bronzes invoke more distinct deities than any other Kushan ruler, drawing from Bactrian, Indian, Iranian, and even Greek divine traditions within a single reign. The ANS corpus groups these issues into tightly sequenced die studies, and #1011 sits in a mid-reign cluster associated with the eastern mint attributions debated between Mathura and an unidentified Bactrian facility.
Copper tetradrachms of this type circulated heavily in the Indo-Gangetic frontier zone, and worn examples are far more common than this weight suggests survivors should be.
