Roman coins were familiar, and became the model for Indian coinage, interesting that the Kushan coins also emulated at least one Roman coin along with all the Hellenic ones.

Should be interesting to see them after they’ve been separated and cleaned.

I’m pretty sure the Coinstar machine at my neighborhood grocery store can process that coin pile with no problem.

A Kushan princess showed up to open a savings account. She had a clay jar filled with thousands of coins. The bank manager said, "my goodness, did you hoard all that by yourself?" The princess said, "no, my sister hoard half of it."
Rimshot!

Probably not.

First thing we hear from our coin dealers is “DO NOT CLEAN YOUR COINS” - “IT WILL LOSE VALUE”.

Iranian influences.

Pretty sure that would be Persian, wouldn’t it?

Yes, it should say Persian, not Iranian, for this period in history.

Kushans are descendants of Tocharians - Toch Aryan - who lived in what is now western China, until they were pushed out in 400 BC by the Xiongnu
