Fundmünzen aus Usbekistan, Band 2 - Schatzfunde kushano-sasanidischer Kupfermünzen und ihr Beitrag zur Kenntnis von Prägesystem und Geldumlauf im kushano-sasanidischen Herrschaftsbereich. In Kooperation mit Shakir Pidaev

The present volume documents eight haords of Late Kushan and Kushano-Sasanian copper coins from various sources. Apart from the presentation of the numismatics material, different topics such as rulers, mints, metrology, and additional marks are discussed in detail. Above all, however, is the first comprehensive attempt since Robert Göbl's studies from 1984 and 1993 to fit the Kushano-Sasanian copper coinage into the history of Eastern Iran in Late Antiquity on the basic of numismatic system reconstruction. It discusses the still controversial question of the dating the year one of the Kushan King Kanishka I. This is the second volume of the series Fundmünzen aus Usbekistan [Coin Finds from Uzbekistan].
