Parataraja dynasty
Bhimarjuna, c. 220-230 AD
BI drachm (16 mm, 1.75 g)
 
Obverse: Crowned bust left
Reverse: Bold swastika turning right, with Kharoshthi legend around Bhimarjuna Yolatakhma-putrasa Paratarajasa (of Bhimarjuna, son of Yolatakhma, king of the Paratas)
Ref: Pieper 3298
 
Bhimarjuna appears to be a direct descendant of an earlier Parataraja king Arjuna. His name includes the name Arjuna combined with the name of Bhima, another heroic Pandava brother from the Hindu epic Mahabharata.
 
Since no coins of any son of Arjuna are known, it is quite possible that Yolatakhma was Arjuna's son, and by extension, Bhimarjuna was Arjuna's grandson.
 
Rare.
