Vima Tactor has long been known as the "Nameless King" because his coins only display the legend of "King of Kings, Great Savior", until the discovery of the Rabatak inscription helped to link his name with the title on the coins. This copper coin belongs to Sot Megas, who was the alias of the Kushan Emperor Vema Taktu and reigned from 80 to 90 AD. This copper coin has a diameter of 20 millimeters and weighs 8.23 grams. It is currently housed in the British Museum.
