Coin of Khingila, Göbl 70
Alchon Hun
Khingila ? silver drachm, c. mid-5th century
Crowned bust of king right, with crescent forehead ornament and hanging ribbon ends
"fly-whisk" shoulder ornaments, "bull" tamgha at left, solar disc at right,
Bactrian legend above: left: ???, right: alchono /
Weight: 2.80g, Diameter: 27mm.
Ref: Göbl 70
The attribution of this coin is uncertain ... Göbl read the legend at left as a retrograde shoyo and suggested an attribution to Khingila, but he attributed almost all problematic Alchon coins to that king. Nevertheless, it seems to me the coin is probably an issue of Khingila as it is clearly related to the previous coin and also to the next coin, previously unpublished, that does seem to have been issued by Khingila.
