Chalkon anonymous

The "anonymous" attribution here reflects a genuine scholarly impasse — the Indo-Sasanian copper issues of this period cannot be reliably tied to a named ruler, and Herzfeld's groupings (nos. 27–29) organize them by die and type rather than by reign. The kingdom itself occupied a contested frontier zone where Kushano-Sasanian authority was being asserted over the remnants of Kushan administrative structure, and coinage was issued to fill a practical gap rather than to project a specific dynastic identity.
