[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 5284335, member: 84744"]What a great bunch of coins and a fantastic visual overview! The Kushans emerged from the Yuezhi who migrated away from China. This coin is from the pre-Kushan Yuezhi era, soon after that migration: [ATTACH=full]1221543[/ATTACH] At the other end of your chain, here are some other Kushan-influenced coins. First the Yaudheyas, who briefly filled the power vacuum in north west India after the Kushan exit in the third century: [ATTACH=full]1221544[/ATTACH] And a very base gold stater of the Karkota dynasty in Kashmir and the Punjab (7th century), with a design derived from Kushan coinage: [ATTACH=full]1221545[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
