Comments
A very rare and important coin type that I published in JONS 200 (click on link above to see my paper). Who exactly issued this coin is still not entirely clear. It may have been the Kidarite king Peroz III or a late Kushan king "Gadahara." My paper has more details and a discussion. Cribb has more recently attributed it to Peroz III.
 
A CHOICE example with a beautiful portrait!
