| Obverse description | Draped bust of Vijayasena facing right, rendered in the stylized Hellenistic-derived tradition typical of Western Satrap coinage, with striated hair swept back and a diadem visible above the brow. A fish symbol appears to the upper right of the effigy, a characteristic emblem on Western Satrap drachms. The regnal date in Brahmi numerals is positioned in the left field behind the head. The portrait, though schematic, retains individualized facial features consistent with the ruler's dynastic type. |
