| Aversbeschreibung | Diademed and draped bust of the satrap Bhadrayasha facing right, rendered in a degraded Hellenistic style characteristic of Indo-Scythian coinage. A degenerate Greek legend encircles the effigy, derived from royal titulature but rendered with progressively corrupted letterforms. The portrait displays the diadem ribbons trailing behind the head, a convention inherited from Seleucid and Indo-Greek numismatic tradition. The flan is irregular and slightly broad, with the design centered within the available field. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Athena Alkidemos standing left, brandishing a thunderbolt in her raised right hand and holding a shield on her left arm, a type closely derived from the coinage of the Indo-Greek kings. A Kharoshthi legend encircles the figure, with the syllable 'ma' or 'mu' positioned to the left of the goddess and the syllable 'im' to the right, accompanied by a dynastic monogram in the right field. The reverse iconography reflects the syncretic Greek and South Asian artistic vocabulary typical of Northern Satrap issues. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Northern Satraps operated as subordinate governors under the Indo-Scythian Azes dynasty, issuing their own coinage in a fractional weight standard that diverged from the main royal series. Bhadrayasha is among the lesser-documented satraps, known almost entirely through coin evidence rather than any surviving epigraphy or classical textual reference.
Senior 160.2 places him within a succession of local rulers whose authority over specific northwestern territories — likely in the Gandhara or Sindh region — was real enough to warrant independent mint production, yet subordinate enough that the series remained light and short-lived.
