Kushan Dynasty, Kanishka I&nbsp;(127-140 CE),&nbsp;Gold Dinar,&nbsp;&ldquo;Lrooaspo (Drvaspa)&rdquo; type,&nbsp;Main Mint in Bactria (Balkh?),&nbsp;Late&nbsp;phase,&nbsp;Obv:&nbsp;the diademed king standing facing the left, holding a spear in his left hand and sacrificing over an altar on the left field, with flames on his right shoulder, the Bactrian legend &quot;&THORN;AONANO&THORN;AO KA-NH&THORN;KI KO&THORN;ANO&quot; &quot;Shaonashao Kanishki Koshano&quot; (King of Kings, Kanishka the Kushan)&nbsp;around the field,&nbsp;Rev:&nbsp;God Drvaspa, diademed and bearded, standing facing the right, holding a diadem in the right hand, a caparisoned horse behind, standing right with left foreleg raised, &nbsp;a tamgha in the right field, the Bactrian legend&nbsp;&ldquo;&Lambda;POOAC&Pi;O&rdquo;&nbsp;in the right field, a&nbsp;dotted border around the field,&nbsp;7.3g, 18.25mm,&nbsp;(Gobl # 57/Variant of Shrava # 128),&nbsp;good quality overall, about very fine,&nbsp;Exceptionally Rare.

Note: The identification of the enigmatic Zoroastrian deity Lrooaspo remains speculative, and its origin is a topic of conjecture. One hypothesis posits that Lrooaspo may be an adaptation of Drvaspa, an Avestan deity associated with the protection of animal health and as the &quot;Guardian of the health of the beasts&quot;. 

Alternatively, Lrooaspo might serve as a representation of the Mithraic deity Apam Napat, known as &quot;the grandson of the waters&quot; and affiliated with Neptune. According to the Avesta, Apam Napat is characterized by the epithet Aurvat-aspa, denoting &quot;possessing a swift horse&quot; (Ya&scaron;t 19.51). With connections to both Mithra and Drvaspa, Lrooaspo is intricately linked to the preservation of Khavaeno, signifying legitimate princely authority. Possibly indicated by the inclusion of a diadem in his portrayal on this coin.
