| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed bust of Khingila facing right, rendered in the late Sasanian tradition, with a prominent earring and elaborate hair treatment. A small standing figure of Lakshmi is depicted in the right field before the bust, indicative of the Alchon Huns' syncretic religious iconography. The portraiture displays characteristic barbarian adaptations of Sasanian royal imagery, with bold, somewhat stylized facial features. A beaded border frames the design. |

The Alchon Huns pushed into the former Kushan and Kidarite territories of Gandhara and the Punjab from the mid-fifth century onward, and their coinage reflects a deliberate appropriation of established monetary forms to ease acceptance among subject populations. Khingila is identified as among the earliest Alchon rulers to issue coins in his own name, placing this drachm at the formative moment of Alchon political consolidation west of the Khyber.
The Göbl EM 91 reference places this type within Robert Göbl's foundational 1967 typology — still the primary scholarly framework for attributing Hun coinage despite subsequent refinements by Vondrovec.
