“Kushano-Sasanian Coins” by Ernst Herzfeld explores the numismatic history of the Kushano-Sasanian era, a transitional period between the Kushan and Sasanian empires in Central Asia (circa 3rd-4th century CE). Herzfeld analyzes the coinage introduced by Sasanian rulers who adopted and adapted Kushan coin designs and inscriptions, reflecting cultural exchanges and political shifts. His work provides insights into the syncretic art, language, and religious symbols present on the coins, marking the influence of Zoroastrian and Buddhist iconography. This study remains an essential resource for understanding economic and cultural interactions across ancient Central Asia.

Ernst Emil Herzfeld (1879–1948) was a pioneering German archaeologist and Iranologist. Born in Celle, he studied architecture and Near Eastern studies, contributing significantly to archaeology in the region. Herzfeld worked on renowned excavations, including Assur, Samarra (the first Islamic-period site), and surveyed sites across Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. Appointed as Berlin’s first professor of Near Eastern archaeology, he documented Persian antiquities, notably excavating Persepolis and Pasargadae. Due to his Jewish heritage, he left Germany in 1935, joining Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study. His extensive papers, housed in the Smithsonian, offer invaluable insights into ancient Near Eastern archaeology.
