The Kushans were likely a branch of the Yuezhi, an Indo-European nomadic group that migrated from northwestern China to Bactria in Central Asia around 135 BCE. The Kushans initially used Greek for administrative purposes, but eventually switched to Bactrian. They were influenced by Hellenistic kingdoms and maintained a variety of faiths, including Buddhism, Hinduism, and Zoroastrianism. This ancient Kushan Empire coin is a true gem and a fantastic addition to any collection. 1858
