| Obverse description | Full-length effigy of King Kanishka I standing facing left, depicted in royal Kushan attire including tunic, trousers, and boots, with a flame nimbus radiating from his shoulders. The king extends his left hand toward a small altar or fire-stand before him, while holding a long spear or sceptre in his right hand. A Bactrian legend in Kushan script runs around the periphery of the field, identifying the royal title and name. |
