Obverse description Bearded male bust in right profile, rendered in a Hellenistic-influenced style characteristic of Sogdian coinage. The effigy displays pronounced facial features including a strong brow and beard, with hair rendered in parallel striated lines. A Greek legend appears in the field to the left of the bust, identifying the issuing authority. The portrait occupies the majority of the flan, which is irregularly shaped due to the hand-struck hammered production technique.
