| Aanvullende informatie |
The Yuezhi are better known through their later Kushan incarnation, but this small silver issue predates that consolidation — struck while the confederation was still settling into Bactria following its displacement of the Greco-Bactrian kingdom around 135 BC. Pulages appears in Senior's classification as one of the early tribal rulers, though his precise position within the confederation's hierarchy remains disputed among specialists.
At 0.66 g, these obols circulated in a region where Greek metrology had already taken root, borrowed from the Bactrian issues they supplanted.
