| Additional information |
The Alchon Huns under Khingila pressed into the northwestern Indian subcontinent during the mid-fifth century, dismantling what remained of Gupta administrative control across the Punjab and Gandhara. The Hadda mint — situated near modern Jalalabad in present-day Afghanistan — served a region that had been a Buddhist pilgrimage hub for centuries, and Alchon coinage circulated alongside that cultural wreckage rather than despite it.
Göbl's EM 105-107 grouping covers a range of die variants with measurable inconsistency in silver content, reflecting opportunistic reminting of captured bullion rather than a managed monetary policy.
