The Kidarites belonged to a complex of peoples known collectively in India as the Huna, and in Europe as the Chionites (from the Iranian names Xwn/Xyon), and may even be considered as identical to the Chionites. The 5th century Byzantine historian Priscus called them Kidarite Huns, or "Huns who are Kidarites". The Huna/Xionite tribes are often linked, albeit controversially, to the Huns who invaded Eastern Europe during a similar period. They are entirely different from the Hephthalites, who replaced them about a century later.

Athenian silver tetradrachm coins hold a significant place in ancient Greek history and numismatics.

On the obverse side of the coin, one can observe the profile head of the goddess Athena, adorned with a crested Attic helmet. The helmet is beautifully ornamented with three laurel leaves and a vine scroll, symbolizing victory and prosperity. Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare, was highly revered in Athens, making her the ideal choice for the obverse design. The reverse side presents an owl, the sacred bird of Athena, standing and facing right. The owl symbolizes knowledge, intelligence, and vigilance. To the right of the owl, the inscription ΑΘΕ in Ancient Greek letters denotes the city of Athens. Behind the owl, an olive spring and a crescent moon can be found, further emphasizing the ties to Athena and highlighting the importance of these symbolic elements in Athenian culture. The entire motif and inscription are enclosed within an incuse square, which creates a visually appealing and distinctive design. The use of an incuse square is an ancient technique that adds depth and texture to the overall appearance of the coin.
