Bactrian legend MANAOBAGO to left and a Tamgha in the right field.complete legend on both side , about uncirculated , exceedingly rare. 'Manao Bago' is one of the strangest divine representation found on Kushan gold coins. His iconographic significance merges several concepts such as the 'right to rule' represented by the torque, 'Bhagavata'-cult related aspects as denoted by the plough and chakra (symbols of Krishna and Balarama) and plenitude or richness, shown by the money-bag. His name is suggested to be a Bactrian version of 'Vohu Manah', the foremost Avestan 'divine spark' of 'Good Mind'. Throughout the Avesta Gathas, 'Vohu Manah' is mentioned in connection with 'Kshathra', or the 'realm', which is granted through him as a reward for Man's righteousness. Vohu Manah is also responsible for increasing the 'Kshathra' of Zarathustra so he conquers over Evil and increases the realm of Ahura Mazda. Moon is the source of 'Good Mind', and therefore he is shown with a crescent on his shoulders. Among the wide variety of gods and goddesses shown on Kushan coins, 'Manao Bago' remains the most intriguing and a very rare depiction. He brings together Indian and Iranian iconographic traditions and thus reflects the religious undercurrents of the Kushan 'royal cult'. He embodies divine tropes from several belief systems and is a true representation of a Kushan cultural 'melting pot'.
