Beschrijving voorzijde Diademed male bust facing right, rendered in a somewhat schematic Sogdian imitative style derived from the Bactrian prototype of Euthydemus I. The effigy displays curly hair bound by a diadem, with coarse but expressive facial features including a prominent nose and strongly modeled chin. The neck is draped, and the bust is set within a beaded border. The overall style reflects local Central Asian die-cutting traditions, departing from the refined Hellenistic naturalism of the original Bactrian Greek prototype.

Beschrijving keerzijde Nude Heracles seated left upon a rocky outcrop, holding a club upright in his right hand, in the manner derived from the reverse type of Euthydemus I of Bactria. The figure is rendered in a schematized imitative style characteristic of Sogdian provincial coinage. An uncertain Sogdian legend appears to the left of the figure, while a partially legible and distorted Greek legend is placed to the right. The overall composition closely follows the Hellenistic prototype but exhibits the degraded die-cutting typical of local Central Asian imitations.
