Unit - Huviska Kushana Imitative type

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.
