Coin of Kushan ruler Chhu. The “Chhu” letter Gupta ashoka chhu.jpg in the Brahmi script appears under the left arm of the ruler.[1]

Template:Kushan rulers Chhu (Brahmi script: Gupta ashoka chhu.jpg Chhu) seems to have been a late Kushan Empire ruler, who ruled from 310 to 325 CE.[2] His coinage is very similar to that of his near-contemporary Vasudeva.[3] His rule corresponds to the last days of the Kushan Empire, before the conquest by Kidara.[4]

The rule of Chhu was probably centered on the Punjab and neighbouring areas.[5]
