Help me identify these Kushan coins?

7 posts
Hello,
I need some help identifying these coins that appear to be Kushan. Two of them are likely the same type, and I’ve seen something like those, but I’m unfamiliar with the other one. Any clues?

#1:


diameter: 24mm
thickness: 2.5mm
weight: 10.91g

#2:


diameter: 24.9mm
thickness: 2.2mm
weight: 10.91g

#3:


diameter: 25.5mm
thickness: 2.5mm
weight: 11.01g

I still haven’t been able to identify them. Anyone?

The first two coins are variations of the same coin type. They are post Kusana / pre Gupta Yaudheya coins, 3rd / 4th century AD.

obv.: Standing Karttikeya holding spear with his r. hand, his l. resting on hip, peacock with tail hanging down at Karttikeya's l. foot, circular Brahmi legend yaudheya ganasya jaya.

rev.: Devasena standing to l., her r. arm with open hand raised, her l. on hip, she is dressed in a long robe, wearing earrings, necklace and bracelets; dotted border.
The above is taken from Ancient Indian Coins Revisited by Wilfried Pieper, p374 #1119.

Thank you! I suppose mine would be ACR# 1125, then, but hmm...the thickness hardly seems to match?

There are a few feathers difference between the peacock and the cock as shown on the coins. I am not able to distinguish them in the photos. There is a normal variation in weight and diameter with this type.

Azes II circa 35 BC - AD 5
Struck in the North Eastern Provinces, Taxila Sirsukh
AE Penta-chalkon (12.1g)
o. City goddess enthroned left

Thank you! That looks exactly like mine, and the measurements match, too. Didn't expect it to be Indo-Scythian so no wonder I couldn't find it!
