 Kusana Coins and History: A Collection of Essays by P L Gupta
Vima Kadphises - Huvishka I - Kanishka - Huvishka II - Huvishka III - Vasudeva I - Vasudeva II - Vasudeva III (?) - Kanishka II This is remarkable in achieving seven rulers where previously scholars identify only three.
The coin still requires some explanation, but readers tempted to posit that Kanishka II might be the son of Huvishka, and brother of Vasudeva, should bear in mind that the coin is remarkably un-Kushan in its general appearance, and that the characters read as 'putra' are quite indecipherable on the plate provided by Gupta.
Her argument is based on the ending of his name not being compatible with 'Kadphises' but of course we now know the inscription refers to Vima Taktu.

Indeed it is a triumph of numismatics that most researchers believed they were the issues of some unknown ruler who ruled between Kujula Kadphises and Vima Kadphises, although some authors thought they were issued by Kujula and others thought that Vima Kadphises may have been the issuer.
Vima Takha seems to have recovered at least some of Kujula's Indian territory from the Indo-Parthians.
We see in later Kushan coins the image of the king sacrificing at a fire altar, and perhaps this is a precursor to that type.
