Three external forces are represented in this enigmatic series, struck towards the end of the Kushan Empire. Both the mighty Samudragupta and the Kushano-Sasanian Peroz/Firuz (called 'PiRyaSa' on this coin) are known to be cited, and it has also been suggested that these coins were actually issued by the Kidarite Huns just prior to their invasion and conquest. Certainly, it was a political landscape in flux and subject to the ambitions of neighbouring rulers. Furthermore, even the nature of 'Gadahara' is a matter for further discussion and research as to whether it was an individual, a group of people or indeed a geographical region.
