Fine.We tentatively attribute this coin to Kanishka III, but these coins remain notoriously hard to identify (the website Coinindia.com notes "no coins have yet been definitively attributed to Kanishka III"). We rely on research of the collection conducted at the British Museum for identification of this coin.Ex Chand Collection 1.4.16 Starting price: 1000 CHF | ![]() |
