Kushanas, Huvishka, c. 151-192, AV dinar, 7.50 g. (21 mm). Obverse: Crowned and diademed half-length bust left, halo around head, holding mace-scepter, with Bactrian legend around. Reverse: Pharro standing left, holding purse (?) and long scepter; tamgha to left, with Bactrian legend ΦAPO (Pharro), dotted border around.

The very rare reverse die here shows Pharro holding what looks like a purse, and not the usual bowl with flames. The obverse type shows Huvishka with the pointed helmet with pellets and chakra (Göbl obverse type XII).
