Javukha (Brahmi: π‘€šπ‘€―π‘€Όπ‘€” Ja-vu-kha, Bactrian: Zabocho, or Zabokho)[3] was the third known king of the Alchon Huns, in the 5th century CE.[3] He is described as such in the Talagan copper scroll inscription, where he is also said to be Maharaja ("Great King"), and the "son of Sadavikha".[1] In the scroll he also appears to be rather contemporary with Toramana.[1]

Coin types

Javukha issued coins in the Bactrian script as well as in the Brahmi, suggesting a regnal claim to areas both north and south of the Hindu Kush, from Bactria to Northern Pakistan.[3]

He issued some silver coins in which he is shown riding a horse, copying a Gupta horse type coinage which appears on the coins of Chandragupta II (r. 380-413 CE) or Kumaragupta I (r. 415-455 CE).[1]
