Kushan Coin of Kanishka II — This Kushan coin depicts a goddess of prosperity seated on a throne; this goddess was known to the Kushans as Ardochsho. Almost all late Kushan coins used the design of a seated goddess, and the Kushan Emperors produced these coins in large numbers. Kushan Emperor, Ganghadra, modern-day Pakistan, circa 230-250 CE.
