| Reverse description | Ithyphallic Shiva depicted standing facing, holding a garland or diadem in one hand and a trident in the other, rendered in the frontal Kushan divine iconographic tradition. Behind the deity, the sacred bull Nandi stands in profile to the left, serving as the divine vahana. The Kushan dynastic tamgha symbol appears prominently in the upper left field. The composition reflects the deeply Shaivite religious character of later Kushan coinage. |
