| Beschrijving voorzijde | Zebu bull standing to right in the central field, rendered in a schematic provincial style characteristic of early Kushan coinage. A degraded Greek legend encircles the device, the individual letterforms heavily blundered and largely illegible due to the local die-cutter's limited familiarity with the Greek alphabet. The overall strike is irregular, with the design occupying most of the flan and showing typical flatness consistent with hammered copper issues of this period. |

Kujula Kadphises was the founder of the Kushan Empire proper, unifying the five Yabghus of the Yuezhi sometime in the early first century AD after centuries of fragmented nomadic confederation. His copper issues — among the earliest distinctly Kushan coinage — drew heavily from the coin vocabulary of the Indo-Greek and Indo-Scythian kingdoms he displaced, a deliberate act of monetary absorption rather than invention. The di-chalkon denomination itself is a Greek-derived unit, a surviving linguistic ghost of Bactrian Greek influence long after Greek political power had evaporated from the region.
