Mitchiner saw a kharosti legend behind archer - he attributed this type to Ardeshir, vassal king of Sakastan, AD 230-245. Other authorities considered these coins Gondopharid (Indo-Parthian), though it is hard to place them within the Gondopharid series due to stylistic considerations. Other attributions place this issue in Margiana or the local vassal rulers of Merv and Khorasan.
