Lot 410: Kidarite Huns. Goboziko. Mid-5th century AR drachm. Imitating Sasanian king Varhran IV.

AUCTION: Triskeles - Auction 20 (Auction 325)

Description

Kidarite Huns. Goboziko. Mid-5th century AR drachm (27 mm, 3.43 g, 3 h). Imitating Sasanian king Varhran IV. Crowned bust of Goboziko facing three-quarters right; in right field, tamgha / Sasanian-style fire altar with attendants. Cf. Göbl 32 (bust right). Minor roughness. Very fine.

Busts facing slightly right are common in Hunnic coinages, but this issue of Goboziko seems to only come with a profile bust.
