Obol - Heraios

Heraios is among the most debated figures in Kushan numismatics — whether he was a chief, a proto-king, or the dynastic founder himself remains unresolved. His coinage predates the fully consolidated Kushan state, placing these small silver pieces at the transitional moment between the Yuezhi tribal confederacy and the imperial structure that would eventually stretch from Bactria to the Ganges plain.

At under half a gram, the obol denomination saw minimal use in large transactions and likely served local or ceremonial exchange in the Bactrian region.
