Vima Kadphises (c. 113–127 CE), a major Kushan emperor, introduced the first extensive gold coinage (dinara) in India, featuring Greco-Roman, Zoroastrian, and Shaivite imagery. These coins, including copper AE 16s, often depict him sacrificing at an altar, reflecting his devotion to Shiva and Nandi the bull.
