"Kushans. Huvishka I. Circa 152-192 AD. AV Dinar (7.67 gm, 12h). FAONANOFAO OOHFKI KOFANO, Huvishka riding an elephant right, holding trident in his right hand, elephant goad in left / hPAKLIO, Eraklio (Herakles) standing left, wearing lion's skin headdress, holding club in his right hand, uncertain object in left; tamgha to left. This coin depicts the god Vajrapani, Buddha's protector, as Herakles, assimilated through Gandharan art via the Parthian representation of Verethragna as Herakles (see Errington and Cribbs, eds., The Crossroads of Asia: Transformation in Image and Symbol in the Art of Ancient Afghanistan and Pakistan, pg. 132, 134).... Unlike other issues depicting Vajrapani as Herakles, on this coin the deity wears the lion's skin rather than holds it. Also, the tamgha on this piece is that of Kanishka, thus suggesting an early issue of Huvishka."

Here, Huvishka honors the Central Asian goddess Ardoxho
