| Reverse description | The deity Shiva is represented standing in full figure, holding a garland in one hand and a trident (trishula) in the other. The sacred Nandi bull stands behind the god, serving as his divine attribute and mount. The composition follows the canonical Kushan reverse type associated with Shiva, rendered in the bold, stylised manner characteristic of late Kushan gold coinage. |
