| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylized effigy of the king standing in front view, sacrificing at a fire altar to the left; the figure rendered in a schematic, late Kushan-derived artistic idiom with summarily depicted robes and headdress. A Brahmi legend appears beneath the outstretched arm, identifying the ruler. The design retains the broad compositional conventions of Kushan royal coinage while displaying the pronounced stylization characteristic of post-Kushan successor issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Kidarites were a nomadic people, likely of Hunnic origin, who displaced the Kushans across Bactria and northwestern India during the fourth century. Pratapaditya II remains poorly documented even by the standards of this dynasty — no contemporary textual source names him directly, and his sequence within the Kidarite ruler list is reconstructed almost entirely from coin typology. The debased gold of this issue reflects the dynasty's declining access to bullion as Sasanian pressure from the west and early Hephthalite encroachment from the north compressed their territory and trade routes through the late fifth century.
