Very fine, Very rare.

Bhanughosha might have been from a group of rulers ruling a small kingdom to the West of Almora in the NE Haryana/South Himachal Pradesh/E Uttaranchal area. The coins are dated on stylistic and palaeographic grounds to mid to late 2nd century AD. It is likely that the area became indepependent from Kushan rule after the reign of Huvishka.
