Description

Kushanas, Huvishka, c. 151-192, AV dinar, 7.91 g. (20 mm). Obverse: Crowned and diademed half-length bust left on clouds, holding mace-scepter and hilt of sword, with Bactrian legend around. Reverse: Miiro (Mithras) standing facing, head with radiate halo to the left, holding scepter in left hand and diadem in right, tamgha to left, with Bactrian legend MIOÞO (Miro).

VF details, some cleaning, struck with rusty dies. The coin has the appearance of a scratch on left obverse, however the lines inside the scratch are raised.

Mioro is the alternative Bactrian spelling of Miiro, the solar deity. In this extremely rare type Miiro is shown holding a diadem in right hand; no other coin on Coinarchives shows this variant.
