| Obverse description | Bust of Vima Kadphises facing right, depicted in royal attire with a diadem and elaborate headdress, the figure rendered in a syncretic Greco-Bactrian artistic style. The king is shown wearing draped robes with visible decorative detailing across the shoulder and chest. A Greek legend encircles the bust along the outer periphery of the flan. The effigy reflects the characteristic portraiture style of early Kushan coinage, combining Hellenistic conventions with local Central Asian elements. The surface shows typical hammered fabric with an irregular flan. |
