Please note that we tentatively attribute this coin to Kanishka III, but this type of coin remains notoriously hard to identify (the website Coinindia.com notes « no coins have yet been definitively attributed to Kanishka III“). We rely on research of the Chand collection conducted at the British Museum for identification of this coin.
About VF, legible with strong details on reverse.
Ex Chand Collection British Museum no 1.4.02.
