Description

Kushanas, Huvishka, c. 151-192, AV dinar, 7.89 g. (20 mm). Obverse: Crowned half-length bust left on clouds, halo around head, flames at shoulders, holding scepter, with Bactrian legend around ÞAONANOÞAO OOηÞKI KOÞANO, king of kings, Huvishka Kushan. Reverse: Ashaiexo standing facing, head in radiate crown turned left, extending right hand in benediction and holding left hand on hip. Bactrian legend AÞAEIXÞO on right, tamgha to left

Good VF-EF

Very rare reverse featuring Ashaiexo, the personification of righteous truth as well as a defense for the righteous against death, illness, and their enemies. As he is said to receive prayers intended for Ahura Mazda, he serves as a divine mediary between this world and heaven. Although an important deity in the Iranian pantheon, coins are very rare, and only 5 examples are found on Coinarchives (the most recent selling in 2016 – hammer 3200 CHF)
