Amoghabhuti

Amoghabhuti

Amoghabhuti was a king of the Kuninda Kingdom in northern India, during the late 2nd century BCE to 1st century BCE.

He is well known for his beautiful coinage where his name is mentionned. This coinage followed the silver standard of the Indo-Greek coins, suggesting the existence of commercial exchanges with these neighbours.

King Amoghabhuti probably was a follower of the Buddhist faith, as indicated by the representation of the Buddhist triratana on his coins.
