Here Kanishka II reintroduces the goddess Ardochsho, who was frequently seen on coins of Kanishka and Huvishka, but never on those of Vasudeva. Although this specimen is damaged around the face of the king, but the legends are much clear and the detail of the throned goddess is compeltely visible and full throne/chair has come on the flan.
