<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 5266376, member: 57364&quot;]As you already noted, the identification of the deity on the Kushanshah specimen is not so straightforward.</p><p>There are two quite similar series, one with a male, the other with a female figure arising from the altar. The male is commonly known as &quot;the exalted god&quot; and is not fully equivalent to Ahura Mazda. The female figure is named on the coins as &quot;the lady Anahita&quot;, she seems to have some parallels with the godess Nana.</p><p>There is a good article on the Kushanshah coinage by Fabrizio Sinisi: &quot;The deities on the Kushano-Sasanian coins&quot;, available on academia.edu</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1220074[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
