Note: &quot;Skando-Komaro&quot;-&nbsp;Skanda and Kumar are the names of the warrior god Kartikeya who in the Indian mythology is said to be the son of Shiva and Parvati. &quot;Bizago&quot; has been identified with the Shaivite deity Vishakha and is generally depicted along with Skando-Kumaro in the coinage of Huvishka. Vishakha is the daughter of the King Daksha in mythology and the 16th&nbsp;nakshatra (constellation) in the Hindu zodiac. Vishakha also happens to be the birth star of the warrior god Skanda (Kartikeya) and hence possibly associated with him on the coins.

Similar type in extremely fine condition was sold in an international auction for US$8000 in 2013.
