Beschrijving voorzijde 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.

Beschrijving keerzijde Standing figure of Hercules facing right, depicted holding a club in one hand in a pose derived from Hellenistic iconographic conventions. The reverse field is encircled by a Greek legend reading the ruler's name ΦCEIΓAΧAΡIC (Phseigacharis). The execution is crude and irregular, consistent with the provincial hammered coinage of the Kashkadarya Valley during the first and second centuries CE. The flan is irregular in shape and the strike is characteristically off-center.

Aanvullende informatie

The Kashkadarya Valley hemidrachms occupy a poorly documented corner of post-Kushan numismatics, where local dynasts issued small silver in imitation of broader regional traditions without ever fully assimilating into a single monetary system. Phseigacharis is known only through these coins — no inscription, no chronicle places him elsewhere.

The weight standard, lighter than a true Greek hemidrachm, reflects local adaptation rather than debasement.
