Currency of the Kushan Empire, Weimar Taktu Copper Coin, 80 AD

Vima Tacto has long been known as the 'Nameless King' because his coins only display the legend of 'King of Kings, Great Savior', until the discovery of the Labatak inscription helped link his name with the title on the coins. This copper coin belongs to Sot Megas, also known as Emperor Weimar Taktu of the Kushan Empire, who reigned from 80 to 90 AD. This copper coin has a diameter of 20 millimeters and weighs 8.23 grams. It is currently housed in the British Museum.
