Which of the following is not depicted on the coins of Kushana King Kanishka I ?
Answer: C
The deity not found on Kanishka I's coins is Mahasen.
Kanishka's coins carry a wide range of deities with Bactrian names: Nana (the goddess Nanaia), Mao (the moon god), Mithro or Miiro (the sun), Athsho (fire), Pharro, and Oesho, usually identified with Shiva, as well as the Buddha.
Mahasena (Mahaseno on the coins) appears with Skanda, Kumara and Vishakha on the coins of Kanishka's successor Huvishka, not on Kanishka's own coinage, so it is the odd one out.
