| Additional information |
The Alchon Huns began displacing Kidarite authority in Bactria and the Hindu Kush region during the mid-fifth century, and coins of this type mark that transitional period with unusual directness — the Adomano mint attribution placing production squarely in contested high-altitude territory that changed hands repeatedly between competing steppe federations. Göbl's classification of this issue within his Kushano-Ephtalite emission sequence reflects ongoing scholarly debate about where Alchon authority ends and Kidarite or Hephthalite overlap begins.
