| Reverse description | The reverse displays a walking or standing lion in profile, rendered in a stylized manner typical of Indo-Scythian dynastic coinage, occupying the upper portion of the field. Beneath or alongside the lion, a Dharmachakra (Buddhist wheel of law) is depicted in low relief, serving as a secondary dynastic-religious symbol. The reverse field is plain and unbordered, consistent with the hammered fabric of Western Satrap copper issues. The overall strike is irregular, with some weakness at the periphery due to the rough flan shape. |
