| Obverse description | Full-length effigy of King Kanishka I standing facing left, robed in Kushan royal dress including tunic, trousers, and boots, with a tall crowned helmet surmounting his head. The king extends his left hand over a small altar or fire, performing a sacrificial gesture, while his right hand holds a long sceptre or spear. A Bactrian legend in the modified Greek script encircles the field, reading the royal titulature of Kanishka. |
