Reverse description Standing male figure depicted in full, facing left in a dynamic posture, dressed in short tunic with detailed rendering of garments and limbs, in the manner of a Hellenistic royal or divine figure. The figure appears to hold objects in each hand, possibly a scepter or weapon, consistent with Seleucid-derived iconographic conventions. Greek inscription surrounds the figure in the field, referencing the Seleucid royal titulature. The overall style reflects the local Sogdian adaptation of Hellenistic coin types current in Bactria and Transoxiana.
