The treasure of the royal burial Tillia tepe is attributed to 1st century BCE Sakas in Bactria.

The Bactrian Treasure (also known as the Bactrian Gold or Bactrian Hoard) is a treasure cache that lay under the "Hill of Gold" (also known as the "Golden Hill", or Tillia tepe) in Afghanistan for 2,000 years until Soviet archeologists exposed it shortly before the 1979 invasion. The hoard then went missing during subsequent wars in Afghanistan, until it was "rediscovered" and first brought to public attention again in 2003.
