Commentary


Monnaie montée anciennement. 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 ; Vai sous le bras droit (devant le roi), Mi sous le bras gauche (derrière le roi) et Sha Ka en bord de flan complètement à droite.
Old mounted coin. The typology of the obverse and reverse is often the same; the attribution varies according to the legends, often difficult to read. The three legends are placed on the obverse; Vai under the right arm (in front of the king), Mi under the left arm (behind the king) and Sha Ka on the edge of the flan completely to the obverse

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).
