| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of King Huvishka facing left, depicted in the distinctive Kushan royal style wearing an elaborate crested helmet adorned with pellets and ribbons, with flowing drapery visible at the shoulder. The king holds a sceptre or spear diagonally across the body, and the torso is richly ornamented with beaded jewellery and royal regalia. A Bactrian legend in Kushan script runs along the left field, identifying the ruler. The design is rendered in the characteristic high-relief, stylised artistic tradition of Kushan royal coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A deity shown standing in full figure facing front, wearing a tiara with flaming nimbus, rendered in the syncretic Kushan iconographic tradition blending Hellenistic, Indian, and Iranian divine imagery. The figure is richly dressed and holds divine attributes in each hand. A Bactrian legend in Kushan script appears to the left of the deity, identifying the divine figure. The field is enclosed by a beaded border, and the overall composition reflects the eclectic religious pluralism characteristic of Huvishka-era Kushan coinage. |

Huvishka ruled the Kushan Empire for roughly four decades, one of the longer reigns in the dynasty, and his coinage reflects that tenure in its sheer typological variety — more distinct reverse types are recorded for Huvishka than for any other Kushan king. The Fr#21 attribution places this piece within the Funan-referenced classification, but Kushan gold of this period circulated far beyond the empire's borders, appearing in hoards from Roman Egypt to the South China Sea trade routes.
The Kushan dinar weight standard was deliberately calibrated against the Roman aureus, a commercial calculation that made these coins acceptable tender across the Indo-Roman luxury trade network.
