Commentary
La typologie du droit et du revers est souvent la même ; l'attribution varie selon les légendes, souvent difficilement lisibles. Les trois légendes sont placées au droit ; Ka Pa N sous le bras droit (devant le roi), Ki Da Ra sous le bras gauche (derrière le roi) et Ga Da Ha Ra en bord de flan complètement à droite. Ce type est attribué à Kipanada (330-360).

Historical background
KUSHAN - KUSHAN EMPIRE - VASUDEVA III and his Successors
(260-360)
The Koushan Empire emerged from the ruins of the kingdom of Bactria and that of Indo-Koush. We know gold coins for Vima Kadphises (108-142), contemporary of Trajan and Hadrian. The empire knew its apogee under Vasou Deva Ier (185-228) then disappeared in the second half of IVe century, replaced by the Goupta empire, founded by Chandragoupta Ier (320-335).
