CE. This coin type however has nothing to do with that of the coins of the Bimaran reliquary (which are all "Horseman with Tyche"). Kudjula Kadphises is also not known to have issued Scythian-type coins in the name of Azes. The three-pellet symbol mark is not known from any other ruler either (apart from the son of Kharahostes Mujatria), so that the only remaining possibility seems to be Kharahostes or his son, as determined by Joe Cribb in his 2015 study. Date of the Bimaran reliquary Various disputes have been arising regarding the early date suggested for this first Buddha image. Prof. Gérard Fussman thinks that the Bimaran reliquary was manufactured in 1–15 CE. In any case manufacture necessarily took place before 60 CE, which is the latest date considered for the coins. The Bimaran casket is on display at the British Museum (Joseph E. Hotung Gallery), which dates the casket to 60 CE. Some also date the casket as late as the 2nd century CE based on stylistic assumptions. Susan Huntington sums up the issue:"The well-known gold and ruby reliquary found at Bimaran in Afghanistan is generally assigned a date of about the second century AD in spite of the virtually incontrovertible scientific evidence surrounding it that suggests that it was made about the first century BC. The resistance to the early dating of the reliquary is based solely on the assumption that Buddha images were not introduced into the Buddhist artistic repertoire until the early centuries of the Christian era, and therefore that any work that bears an image of the Buddha must be of a comparably late date."These disputes stem from the fact that the first representations of the Buddha are generally assumed to be around the 1st century CE or later, about fifty to a hundred years later than the reign of Azes II, under the rule of the Kushans. Since the Bimaran casket, with its already advanced Buddhist iconography, was manufactured at the beginning of our era, give or take a few decades, it is highly probably that much earlier images of the Buddha had already been in existence before its creation, going back to the 1st century BCE. Implications Since the casket already displays quite a sophisticated iconography (Brahma and Indra as attendants, Bodhisattvas) in an advanced style, it would suggest much earlier representations of the Buddha had been current by the time of
