Taxila series. rf. Göbl 634; MAC 3503 var.; Fr.41; ZENO 323657. XF. Note: Göbl (#635) assigns this dinar to Kanishka II, but on account of the arrangement of the Kushan coins by Joe Cribb it has now been attributed to Kanishka III. It sits in between the coins of Vasishka and Vasudeva II. One of Vasishka’s inscription mentions the birth of a son called Kanishka and then there is a single inscription of Kanishka III where he is called son of Vasishka. His coins are followed by a series in the name of Vasudeva, not known from inscriptions, but the second Kushan coin issuer to use this name, hence Vasudeva II.
