Kushan Gold Coin

Japanese: クシャーナ金貨 - くしゃーなきんか
Kushan Gold Coin

…Roman imperial documents tell us that a large amount of gold flowed out of Rome to India at that time, and it was at this time that the Kushan Empire issued a large amount of gold coins. The weight standard of these Kushan gold coins followed the standard of Roman currency, and the gold coins were called dinara, which comes from the Roman denarius. [Genichi Yamazaki]
[Kushan art]
With the prosperity of the dynasty as a backdrop, Buddhist-led art developed with Gandhara and Mathura as the two major centers.
