Vijayasena was the third of four sons of Dāmasena who came to the throne. He issued coins as kshatrapa in the years 160 and 161, perhaps while his brother Yasodāman was still on the throne, and then coins as mahakshatrapa starting in the years 162. His last known coins are dated 172 (info credit CoinIndia).

Fishman (AMF) indicates the year 173 is a rare known version of this coin while year 174 is “reported, probably does not exist”.
