Scythian/Yuezhi, Post-Hermaios bronze tetradrachm, c. 20 BC – 20 AD

Bust right, crude Greek inscriptions around // Zeus seated left. 19mm, 4.92 grams. cf. Mitchiner-2044

Late issue in the style of Kujula, probably minted by him. These copper Hermaios coins are very poorly understood. Senior opines that the most Hermaios coins are posthumous issues of various groups of Scythians. Mitchiner places this bronze type in Arachosia. They might also be among the earliest Yuezhi coins which the Yuezhi barbarians (earliest Kushan progenitors) minted in modern Pakistan.
