| Obverse description | Apollo depicted standing facing, holding an arrow in his right hand and a bow in his left, rendered in a Hellenistic style with no monogram present at left. The figure is shown in full length within the square flan. A three-sided Greek legend surrounds the central device, occupying the upper and lateral fields of the coin. The inscription reads BAΣIΛEΩΣ AΠOΛΛOΔOTOY ΣΩTHPOΣ, identifying the ruler as King Apollodotos the Saviour. |

| Reverse description | A tripod, the sacred symbol of Apollo, is depicted centrally within a dotted border on the square flan, as visible in the image with the characteristic three-legged form rendered in relief. A monogram appears to the right of the tripod in the field. The Kharosthi legend surrounds the central device on three sides, echoing the bilingual character of Indo-Greek coinage. The overall style reflects the fusion of Hellenistic iconography with local epigraphic traditions. |
