| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude, stylized facing head or mask rendered in low relief, characteristic of late Hunnic-influenced coinage of the Sindh region. Three pellets or bosses are arranged symmetrically across the face to indicate the eyes and mouth, forming a schematic facial design within an irregular flan. The field is flat and worn, with the surface showing typical die-struck texture of hammered coinage of the period. A Brahmi legend reading 'BHOGASWAMISA' (meaning 'Of Bhogaswami') appears in the lower portion of the field, partially visible along the coin's irregular edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Huns who settled in Sindh following the collapse of Kidarite and Alchon power in the northwest adopted local coinage practices with surprising fidelity, issuing small silver pieces that blend Central Asian monetary habits with Brahmanical religious iconography. The Bhogaswami designation identifies a specific divine epithet used in Sindhi religious contexts, suggesting these pieces functioned in part within temple or votive exchange networks rather than purely commercial circulation.
Attribution to the Sindh Kingdom places this squarely in the post-Gupta vacuum, when no single power controlled the Indus valley long enough to impose uniform monetary standards.
