Kushanshahr was a province of theSasanian Empire comprising the region betweenKabul Valley andPeshawar Valley.^[1] The Kushanshar territory centered onTukharistan, and covered the area fromTirmidh toPeshawar.^[1] The establishment of Sasanian rule in Kushanshar permitted the control ofCentral Asian trade routes.^[1] TheKushano-Sasanids were in charge of the area. They issued coinage which was following theKushan standard, due to the traditional importance of trade links withIndia.^[1]

Kushanshahr was a pendant toEranshahr to the West, which was the cradle of the Sasanian Empire.
