| Obverse description | A horse depicted in profile walking to the right occupies the central field, rendered in a bold, slightly stylized manner characteristic of Silk Road coinage. The figure is set within a circular border, surrounded by a continuous Kharosthi legend running along the periphery of the coin. The script, reading the royal title and denomination, is distributed evenly around the equine motif. The irregular flan and hammered fabric are consistent with the provincial workshop production of the Khotan Kingdom during the early Common Era. |
