| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a standing divine figure, likely a degraded representation of a deity derived from earlier Kushan iconographic tradition, occupying the central field. The effigy is rendered in a highly schematic, barbarous style with indistinct facial features and garment lines. Surrounding the central figure are scattered pellets and degenerate pseudo-legend elements, reduced to abstract strokes no longer legible as coherent script. The overall design reflects the progressive stylistic deterioration characteristic of Jouan-jouan imitative drachms struck in the late Kushan period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Jouan-jouan — more properly the Rouran Khaganate — were a nomadic confederacy dominant across the eastern steppes, and their coinage conventions filtered westward through layers of imitation and re-imitation before reaching Kushan moneyers. This piece sits in that murky chain of transmission, where the original prototype had already been copied enough times that the issuing authority was imitating an imitation.
The early third century Kushan economy ran on multiple parallel denominational systems, and copper fractions of this weight class filled gaps that silver and gold couldn't practically serve at local market level.
