Description:
Copper coin of Indian origin
Diameter 15.5mm
This coin takes on a formula made popular by the coins of the Kushan Dynasty in the First Century BC. There is a king on the obverse and a Hindu God or Goddess on the reverse. The particular iconography and date of this coin is unidentified although it is very similar to the bronze drachm of Kanishka I (c.127/8 - 152), Kushan Empire. The drachm shows the Goddess Mao on the obverse and the king standing beside an altar and holding a trident on the reverse.
