Tobazini

Tobazini, Gobazini or Goboziko was a ruler of southern Central Asia.

He is only known from his coinage, found in Bactria and Northern Afghanistan.

Tobazini is often considered one of the last rulers of the Kidarites, circa 450 CE.

[2] His coins copy the design of Sasanian king Bahram IV (388–399 CE).

[1][3][4] After Tobazini, the Hephthalites adopted the coinage of Peroz I as their model for their own coinage in Bactria, without inscribing the name of their rulers, contrary to their predecessors the Kidarites and the Alchon Huns.
