| Additional information |
Damazada II is among the most obscure rulers in the Western Satraps succession — his reign dates remain contested, and his relationship to the broader Chastana-Rudradaman dynastic line is not fully resolved in the literature. The Western Satraps issued coinage in a debased but recognizable tradition inherited from the earlier Indo-Greek and Scythian rulers, progressively reducing silver content across generations until many later pieces are silver-washed copper. At 1.6g, this piece sits at the lighter end of the drachm standard the Satraps had been running since roughly the first century.
Pieper 3372 is a thinly documented type.
