Reverse description Zeus Nikephoros enthroned to the left, clad in himation, extending a wreath-bearing Nike in his right hand and holding a long sceptre in his left; before the throne, a walking elephant advances to the left, serving as the dynastic emblem of Antialkidas and referencing his political connections to the Mauryan tradition. The surrounding Kharosthi legend reads mahārājasa jayadharasa aṃtialikidasa — the Indic equivalent of the Greek obverse title — enclosed within a beaded border.
