This exceptional copper 1/4 unit coin represents a fascinating piece of numismatic history from the Kushan Dynasty, minted during the reign of King Vasudev (AD 190-230). Weighing just 1.42 grams, this rare fractional denomination showcases the sophisticated artistry of the Taxila mint series. The obverse features the king in a commanding stance, holding a trident in his left hand while his right hand gestures toward an altar—a powerful representation of divine authority. The reverse displays the Ardoksho deity seated majestically upon a throne, reflecting the syncretic religious imagery characteristic of Kushan coinage.

What makes this coin particularly valuable to collectors is its fractional denomination, which is considerably scarcer than standard units. The Kushan Dynasty was known for blending Hellenistic, Persian, and Indian cultural elements, and this coin exemplifies that unique fusion. In Very Fine condition, the coin retains excellent detail and legibility, making it an outstanding specimen for serious numismatists and history enthusiasts. This piece serves as both an investment-grade collectible and a tangible window into ancient Indo-Greek civilization, offering authentic insight into one of history’s most influential empires.
