Context
Unique and Unusual type. Tamgha on Obverse confirms that this was issued in the name of Kanishka, and it may be a special issue or a vassal or other non-standard emission. Listed on sites as a “Quarter Dinar” but weight matches that of a piece of half that denomination. Believed to have been minted somewhere in Mathura. References: Sachs 178. Originally from Archytas Collection. Tamghas of the Various Kushan Kings: Source: Wikipedia
