| Reverse description | Standing figure of Herakles facing, nude, wreathed with laurel, crowning himself with a wreath held in his raised right hand. His left arm cradles the club and the Nemean lion skin in the crook of the elbow. The composition follows the standard Hellenistic type for Baktrian royal coinage descended from Seleukid prototypes, with the legend arranged in two vertical columns flanking the figure. |
