		The difference in weights between the two should not be exaggerated, as the copper coins are often struck only loosely to the standard in force, and this combined with wear can make assessing the exact standard very difficult.
		It must have stopped by the time of Kanishka III (c.258 AD) when the gold coinage's purity fell dramatically and it could no longer have guaranteed the copper.
		A trader could therefore gather old coins (of Wima, Kanishka, and early Huvishka), transport them outside of the empire, and exchange them on the basis of their intrinsic copper value, at a profit.

	Lohuizen de Leeuw and the 'dropped hundreds' theory
		Unlike Lohuizen, he dated Kanishka to 115 AD (259) and he felt that the second sequence represented a new era (266) rather than a second century.
		He also adds a number of inscriptions, including 4 of Kanishka, and 2 of Vasishka (though he leaves one inscription of Vasishka in the first sequence, claiming it represents a different king).
		Puri's own table is very interesting because he takes all the inscriptions of Vasishka to be in the second sequence (probably simply unaware Rosenfield excludes the year 24 inscription), adds the year 41 inscription of Kanishka III and duplicates one of the inscriptions, year 14, for Kanishka II, from Rosenfield's list.

		The second period is characterized by the circulation of gold and bronze coins of a common coinage of Kushan rulers in the territory of Bactria – Tokharistan, beginning from the reign of Soter Megas (Vima Tokto) to Kanishka III inclusive.
		From the time of the rule of Shapur I (241-262 A.D) imitation coins of Vasudeva I and Kanishka III circulated.
		These are well illustrated, thanks to the hoard from Dalverzin tepe, which consisted of imitations of Kushan coins and drachms of Shapur I. The circulation of imitations and gold and bronze Kushano-Sasanian, Sasanian-Kushan coins of all Kushan-Shahs is typical of the second stage of this period.
