Description
Kushan Empire. Vima Taktho / Soter Megas (55-100AD)
AE drachm
Vima Taktho is a somewhat enigmatic figure due to the limited historical records available about him. He is primarily known from coinage and inscriptions. His coins bear the title “Soter Megas”, meaning “Great Savior,” which suggests that he played a key role in expanding and consolidating the Kushan Empire
XF. Lovely dark patina. Superb condition for the type. RARE this nice!
