Kushanas, Kipanadha, c. 335-350, AV dinar, 7.54 g. (17 mm).

Reverse: Ardoksho, goddess of plenty, enthroned, facing, holding garland and cornucopia, tamgha left.
The identification of the king’s name is not definitive on this coin, but appears to be either Kipanadha or Shkinatha.The Bactrian legend on these late Kushan coins became increasingly corrupted and indecipherable.
