Comment
Imitative coinage of Huviska's Couch type coin. Minted around (or immediately after Decline of Kushana empire)Interesting fact
The Huviska coin was used as a form of currency during the Kushan Empire, which was a powerful and influential empire that existed in ancient India from the 1st to the 3rd century CE. The coin was made of copper and weighed around 0.65 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the Huviska coin played a big role in the economy of the Kushan Empire, facilitating trade and commerce across the region.
