| Aversbeschreibung | Highly schematic and degenerate effigy of the king standing facing, rendered in crude imitative style typical of late Kushan provincial coinage. The figure appears in frontal stance with arms extended, wearing what appears to be a belted tunic or coat with trousers, in the tradition of Kanishka-type royal portraiture. Above the figure, degraded traces of a crown or flame nimbus are discernible. The overall design is heavily stylized, with details reduced to abstract linear forms due to the imitative nature of the issue. The flan is irregular and slightly scalloped at the edges. |

Kanishka II ruled in the mid-third century AD during a period when Kushan authority was fragmenting under sustained Sasanian pressure from the west. The "imitative" designation here is significant — these copper drachms were produced by regional or local mints copying the royal coinage types, a practice that proliferated as centralized Kushan minting capacity declined. The prototypes they imitate were themselves debased successors to the gold-rich issues of Kanishka I's peak.
Attribution within this imitative series remains genuinely difficult, and the ACR reference is often the most specific anchor available for trade.
