| Reverse description | The deity Shiva depicted ithyphallically, standing facing with head turned to left, holding a trident (trishula) in his raised right hand; his left arm rests upon the humped bull Nandi, who stands to the right with head turned forward. The Buddhist Triratana symbol appears in the left field. A Kharosthi legend encircles the design, recording the royal titles of Vima Kadphises in the Prakrit language, reflecting the syncretistic religious and cultural milieu of the Kushan court. |
