Ancient Persia. White Huns / Hephalite Gandhara, c. 475-576 AD, billon drachm set in custom sterling silver bezel (silver patina to better match tone of coin). King's bust rt. in ornate bull-headed crown; Napki Malka in Pahlavi / Two attendants flanking a fire altar, Kabul and Zabul. 28 mm diameter with wonderful green patina, some copper highlights. Very pleasing to the eyes. The Hephthalites, also known as White Huns, were a nomadic people who lived across northern China, Central Asia, and northern India in the fourth through sixth centuries. The term Hephthalite derives from Greek, supposedly a rendering of Hayathelite (from the term Haital = "Big/Powerful" in the dialect of Bukhara), the name used by Persian writers to refer to a 6th century empire on the northern and eastern periphery of their land. As a group they appear to be distinct from the Huns who migrated to Europe in the Fourth Century AD. #JN2040: $250 SOLD
