Beschrijving keerzijde A deity shown standing in frontal or near-frontal pose, rendered in a highly schematic and debased style typical of post-Kushana imitative copper coinage. The figure retains the broad compositional attributes of Kushana divine reverse types, though specific iconographic details are difficult to distinguish due to the crude execution and worn surfaces. No legible legend is present in the field.

Aanvullende informatie

These small copper imitations proliferated across the former Kushan territories during the third and fourth centuries as the empire fragmented under Sasanian pressure and the rise of the Kidarites. Local rulers and uncertain regional authorities continued striking coins in Huvishka's name long after his death — probably around 240 AD — because his coinage carried established trade recognition across Central Asia. The attribution of any specific piece to a particular issuing authority remains genuinely contested among specialists.
