| Reverse description | Winged Nike standing facing right in full figure, draped in a flowing chiton, her wings spread, extending a victor's wreath in her right hand and holding a palm frond in her left. The figure is centrally placed within the square field of the flan, with the Kharosthi legend disposed around the periphery. The design reflects the syncretic Hellenistic-Indian artistic vocabulary characteristic of Menander I's coinage. |
