| Reverse description | The goddess Ardoxsho (Ashi Vanghuhi, deity of fortune and prosperity) stands facing, with head turned to the right, attired in royal garments and wearing a stephane crown. She extends a cornucopia outward with both hands, symbolizing abundance and divine bounty. The Kushan tamgha dynastic symbol appears to the right in the field. A brief Bactrian legend naming the deity is inscribed within the field. The composition reflects the syncretic religious iconography typical of Kushan coinage, blending Iranian, Hellenistic, and Indian artistic traditions. |
