Description
Kushano-Sasanian Kingdom, Peroz II, Copper Unit, 1.10 grms, Obv: Bust of king to right but crown with bull horn decorations and 'globe-artichocke' with legend on right, Rev: Male deity rising from altar. Pieper#1959, Extra Fine, Rare Peroz II faced direct conflict from residual Kushan dynasts in Bactria and Gandhara and growing pressure from Central Asian nomadic groups, including early Chionite–Hun elements, threatening eastern Sasanian control. His rule focused on defending territory rather than expansion. To counter these threats, he relied on alliances with local Indo-Iranian elites and regional chiefs who governed frontier districts. These alliances were pragmatic, aimed at military support and border stability against Kushan resurgence and nomadic incursions.
