| Additional information |
Rajuvula was among the more aggressive of the Indo-Scythian satraps, likely responsible for the final displacement of the Indo-Greek kings in the Punjab region around the turn of the millennium. His coins — and this billon drachm is characteristic of the type — were struck in debased silver, a sharp decline from the fine-silver issues of the Indo-Greek rulers he supplanted. The Jammu-Akhnoor attribution points to find concentrations along the upper Chenab corridor, a region that saw considerable Scythian consolidation during his tenure.
