Tetradrachm - Aspavarma Apracharajas of Bajaur

The Apracharajas were a minor Indo-Scythian tributary dynasty operating in the Bajaur region of the northwestern frontier — modern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa — during a period when Kushana consolidation was steadily absorbing smaller powers. Aspavarma is among the better-attested rulers of the line, known from both coins and the Taxila copper plate inscription, which places him in direct political contact with the Kushana sphere. That inscription dates to approximately the same window as this issue, giving rare documentary anchoring for a dynasty otherwise known almost entirely through its coinage.
