Lot No. 2-1 AUC10 Ancient India Copper  Kujula Kadphises (c. 30-80 AD), Silver Drachm, 2.40gm, Head of Posthumous Hermaios Crude type, Obv: Diademed bust of the king to right, Greek Legend Basileos Kozolu Koshano, Rev: Palas with outstretched hand, traces of Kharoshthi legend and a monogram in right field. (This Variety is Unpublished in any catalogue or book). Very Fine, Rare. We don't know for sure if the coins traditionally assigned to Heraios were issued by Kujula Kadphises. What we do know, however, thanks to the Rabatak inscription which we will look at more closely when we look at the coins of Kanishka, is that there was a Kushan ruler named Kujula Kadphises, who was the great-grandfather of the great Kushan king Kanishka I. Other than the still controversial silver coins of Heraios, Kujula is known to issue only copper coins but this lone piece in silver. Sometime in the first half of the first century, he issued coins derived from the AE tetradrachms of the Indo-Greek king Hermaios. These coins were issued in the Kabul valley and in Gandhara. Further east, he issued several types, including a type characterized by a Roman style bust and a type derived from the Indo-Scythian ruler Zeionises.It appears that Kujula's empire was not long-lived, as there is evidence that the Indo-Parthian ruler Gondophares seized much of his territory. This then had to be recovered by Kujula's son, Vima Takto (or Vima Takha), and may explain why Vima inscribed most of his coins not with his name, but the epithet SOTER MEGAS, or great saviour.
