<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 12759318, member: 26302&quot;]Weren&#039;t the Kushan coins thought to be issued at the very, very end of Kanishka&#039;s reign, hence the rarity? Its similar why 1921 Peace dollars are rarer, they weren&#039;t minted until December 1921, (same for 1916 SL quarters). The buddha type coins weren&#039;t intended to be rare we think, but then Kanishka died very shortly after and the new ruler changed types.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Btw, for those deep pocketed types, CNG has a gold version at auction. Estimate is only $50,000. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://auctions.cngcoins.com/lots/view/4-85Z9MB/india-kushan-empire-kanishka-i-circa-ad-127-151-av-quarter-dinar-14mm-188-g-12h-main-mint-in-baktria-balkh-late-phase-near-vf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://auctions.cngcoins.com/lots/view/4-85Z9MB/india-kushan-empire-kanishka-i-circa-ad-127-151-av-quarter-dinar-14mm-188-g-12h-main-mint-in-baktria-balkh-late-phase-near-vf" rel="nofollow">https://auctions.cngcoins.com/lots/view/4-85Z9MB/india-kushan-empire-kanishka-i-circa-ad-127-151-av-quarter-dinar-14mm-188-g-12h-main-mint-in-baktria-balkh-late-phase-near-vf</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
