| Obverse description | Diademed and radiate male bust in right profile, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition derived from Euthydemus I of Bactria. The effigy features a prominent, fleshy face with a broad chin and deeply set eye, surmounted by a radiating diadem with pellet ornaments arranged across the crown. The overall style reflects a barbarized local imitation of the Bactrian Greek prototype, with simplified but bold die-cutting characteristic of Yuezhi coinage. |
