General: The Kushan empire was formed by Yuezhi, in the Bactrian territories in the early 1st century. It stretched to encompass the entire northern subcontinent of India and includes what is today Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Kushans used the Baktrian language, employing the use of Greek script to write Baktrian - as evidenced in their coinage. Huvishka was the son of Kanishka. He ruled the Kushan Empire following his father's death. Huvishaka was a worshipper of Shiva. The Kushan coins typically feature the King on the obverse and a deity on the other. Oesho on the reverse of thsi coin is identical with Shiva.
