Vima Takto was long known as "The nameless King", since his coins only showed the legend "The King of Kings, Great Saviour", until the discovery of the Rabatak inscription helped connect his name with the title on the coins. Vima Takto's empire covered northwestern India and Bactria towards China, where Kushan presence has been asserted in the Tarim Basin. Under his reign, embassies were also sent to the Chinese court.

The kings of Persia, successors of Darius I, continued in the traditions established by that monarch, issuing gold darics and silver Sigloi for circulation in western Anatolia. The Lydian capital of Sardeis, the centre of Persian power in the area, was uncertainly the principal mint, though other cities may have assisted in the production of this enormous coinage. The kneeling archer with a punch on the reverse remained the sole type for this Persian imperial coin down to Alexander the Great's conquest in 330 B.C.
