<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 24902159, member: 75482&quot;]Your Hunnic/Hephthalite speculation is well-founded. The Sasanian king Peroz was captured by the Hephthalites and ransomed in silver drachms, draining the treasury. The Hunnic invasion of India via the Khyber Pass in the late 5th century created a pathway by which these Sasanian drachms of Peroz flowed southward from Bactria as far as western India (Gujarat, Malwa), where they served as a local prototype for some 800 years. One can follow the evolution of the Indo-Sasanian type, step by step, from official coins of Peroz to the terminal &quot;Gadhaiya Paisa&quot; types of the 13th century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
