INDIA, Kushan Empire. Uncertain king. 4th century AD. Æ Drachm (15mm, 3.15 g, 6h). Brahmi monogram / Tamgha. Unpublished in the standard references. VF, slightly rough green patina.

This piece is clearly related to the bronze issue of a king Vasudeva (MK 1020) which has on the obverse Vasu in Brahmi. The obverse of the current coin must mark the issuing authority as well, although the identity of that issuer is uncertain.
