Figs. 1 and 2 are gold coins of the Indo-Scythian king, Wima or Hima, commonly called Kadphises II, who conquered the Panjāb at some time in the first century of the Christian era. They show a fairly successful attempt at realistic portraiture. The reverse bears the purely Indian device of Siva and his bull.
