'''Peroz II Kushanshah''' ([[Bactrian script]]: ''Πιρωςο Κοϸανο ϸαηο''){{sfn|Cribb|2010|p=98}} was the penultimate [[Kushanshah]] of the [[Kushano-Sasanian Kingdom]] from 303 to 330.{{sfn|Cribb|Donovan|2014|p=4}} He was the successor of [[Hormizd II Kushanshah]].

Like his two previous predecessors—[[Hormizd I Kushanshah]] and Hormizd II Kushanshah—Peroz II had the same group of coins minted during his reign, with gold [[dinar]]s and copper [[drachms]] provided from the main Kushano-Sasanian base of [[Tukharistan]].{{sfn|Rezakhani|2017|p=83}} However, Peroz II is called "the Great Kushan King" and not the "Kushan King of Kings" on his coins, hence renouncing their claim of kingship over the [[Sasanian Empire]].{{sfn|Rezakhani|2017|p=83}} Since the reign of Hormizd I Kushanshah, copper drachms were minted with the names of two local governors, Meze and Kavad.{{sfn|Rezakhani|2017|p=83}} This was also continued under Peroz II.{{sfn|Rezakhani|2017|p=83}}

In [[Gandhara]], Peroz II issued copper coins with his characteristic "bull horns crown".{{sfn|Cribb|2010|p=109}} However, he was the last of the Kushano-Sasanian rulers to issue such coins in Gandhara.{{sfn|Cribb|2010|p=109}} After that point, the area was occupied by [[Shapur II]], who issued his own coinage from [[Kabul]].{{sfn|Rezakhani|2017|p=83}}{{sfn|Vaissière|2016}}{{sfn|Cribb|2010|p=109}}

Peroz II was succeeded by [[Varahran Kushanshah]] in Tukharistan, while the Sasanian [[King of Kings]] Shapur II ({{reign|309|379}}) incorporated Gandhara and Kabul into his own domains.{{sfn|Rezakhani|2017|p=83}}{{sfn|Vaissière|2016}}{{sfn|Cribb|2010|p=109}}
