<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Loong Siew, post: 12759567, member: 75799&quot;]Not really.. Kushan coins precede Kanishka such as the Vima Soters and others.. Kanishka himself issued quiet a number of coins in other depictions.. Just happened that the ones depicting the Buddha and Maitreya happened to be very rare. I suspect it could have been commemorative after the Buddhist Council held during his reign.. No other kings or countries hence have ever minted coins in the image of the Buddha until modern times..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
