    Hey guys (once again)
    So this is a beat up copper unit which i beleive is from the time of vasudeva. It is a coin from the kushan kingdom. Is there any more detail or info to be extracted?
    size is about 17-19mm 15302295_10154398319102562_762810323_o.jpg 15311656_10154398318907562_1425144952_o.jpg
    Regards

    "Kushan Vasudeva" sounds like, "Achoo! Gesundheit!" (sneeze and response) to me. LOL ;)

    Seriously, though, I only recently learned what tiny bit I know about the Kushan Empire. (Thank you as always, Wikipedia. I just donated.)

    PS- I like the cool patina on that coin. I might know nothing about Kushan coins, but I can appreciate nice patina on ancient bronzes, at least.

    I will try getting my hands on kushan silver, for more details. Though Kushan golds are just spectacular at 8grams.

    I believe this may be a Kanishka II (c. 225 - 240 AD)

    Yes, Kushan gold caught my attention a few months ago, which was what made me look up the history.
