Beschrijving voorzijde King Huvishka depicted in regal attire, seated in three-quarter view atop an elephant advancing to the left, the royal figure holding attributes of sovereignty. The king wears a distinctive Kushan crown and is shown in the characteristic frontal style of Kushan coinage. A Bactrian legend surrounds the central device, reading ΦAO HÞKI KOÞANO, identifying the ruler as the Kushan king. The flan is irregular and the design, executed in the hammered tradition, exhibits the bold, slightly crude relief typical of Kushan bronze issues.

Aanvullende informatie

Huvishka's reign, spanning roughly four decades in the mid-to-late second century, produced an extraordinary range of divine reverses — more deity types than any other Kushan ruler. Göbl 882 falls within a bronze tetradrachm series that reflects the empire's syncretic religious policy, drawing simultaneously on Zoroastrian, Hindu, and Buddhist traditions as Huvishka consolidated territory across Bactria and the Indian subcontinent.

Bronze tetradrachms of this type are frequently encountered with uneven flan preparation, a known characteristic of Kushan provincial minting rather than a strike deficiency specific to individual dies.
