| Obverse description | Nike advancing left in flowing robes, her large wings spread prominently behind her, holding a victor's wreath in her outstretched right hand and a palm frond in her left. The figure is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition with fine drapery detail visible despite the bronze fabric. The circular Greek legend surrounds the central type, reading ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΔΙΚΑΙΟΥ ΝΙΚΗΦΟΡΟΥ / ΑΡΧΕΒΙΟΥ, identifying the king by his royal epithets 'the Just' and 'the Victorious.' |

| Reverse description | An owl standing left on a ground line, rendered in the Athenian numismatic tradition, with head turned to face the viewer in the characteristic three-quarter frontal position. A dynastic monogram appears to the right of the owl in the field. The surrounding legend is inscribed in Kharosthi script, providing the bilingual character typical of Indo-Greek coinage, with the royal titulature mirroring that of the obverse Greek inscription. |
