These included the \u003cstrong\u003eKidarites\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eAlchon Huns\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose rulers adapted Sasanian, Kushan, and Indian coinage traditions to create distinctive currencies of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe exact ethnic and political relationships among the European Huns, Kidarites, Alchons, Chionites, Hephthalites, and other groups remain debated. It would therefore be misleading to describe the Kidarites and Alchons simply as descendants of Attila's empire who moved east after his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is clear is that these Hunnic-identified groups belonged to the same broad age of Eurasian upheaval and helped reshape the political map from the Persian world to northern India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKidarites\u003c\/strong\u003e established power on both sides of the Hindu Kush and inherited important elements of Kushano-Sasanian monetary culture.
