| Obverse description | Crude bust of a ruler facing right, rendered in a local Bactrian-influenced style. The effigy displays roughly defined facial features including a prominent eye, nose, and beard, characteristic of the local coinage of the Kashkadarya Valley rulers. The hair is rendered in a series of stylized curls or waves framing the face. The fabric of the garment is suggested at the shoulder. The overall workmanship reflects a provincial adaptation of Hellenistic portraiture traditions. |
