Abstract

Copper hoards with small quantity of coins particularly of the Kushan period are not often appreciated for publication. But when such a parcel of coins is known from proper context then it is well praised by the scholars. Moreover, when such a collection containing coins of some interest then it is a noteworthy piece of evidence and always contributes something new to the site and history of that period. The present lot which is small but yields many things of interest like its provenance, the Buddhist site near Peshawar, and bearing two coins of the Buddha image.
