The deity wears typical Kushan divine regalia and is flanked by a Greek-script legend. A dotted border frames the entire reverse design. The image exhibits the robust, frontal-influenced style characteristic of Kushan divine coinage. |

Kanishka I's quarter dinar denomination was introduced as part of a deliberate restructuring of Kushan coinage that anchored the empire's monetary system to a gold standard derived loosely from Roman aureus weight practices — a reflection of the active trade moving through Kushan territory along the Silk Road routes connecting Rome to China. The full dinar itself was calibrated against the Roman standard, making this fractional issue a practical necessity for smaller commercial transactions at that scale.
ANS Kushan 374 places this among the well-documented but relatively scarce fractional gold issues of Kanishka's reign, which ran coinage from multiple mints whose precise locations remain debated.
