Beschrijving voorzijde Facing bust or figure in nimbate and crowned form, identified as Lakshmi, rendered in a schematic Indo-Scythian style with broad, flat relief typical of the period. A partial Brahmi legend surrounds the central device, partially visible along the coin's periphery. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat off-center, consistent with hammered coinage of this regional satrap series. The field is flat with minimal ornamentation beyond the primary effigy.
Schrift voorzijde Brahmi

Beschrijving keerzijde Abhisheka Lakshmi depicted standing in frontal pose, flanked by two elephants performing the ritual lustration by pouring water over the goddess, a motif well-attested in Indo-Scythian and post-Mauryan coinage traditions. The composition reflects strong Indian iconographic influence within the broader Indo-Scythian numismatic repertoire. The relief is low and the engraving schematic, with the figures rendered in a summary style characteristic of provincial bronze issues. The flan edges are irregular, and the reverse strike is partially weak, as is common for this denomination.
