| 背面描述 | Lion standing to right within a circular border, depicted in a schematic style typical of Indo-Scythian bronze coinage of the period. A Kharoshthi legend surrounds the central device, distributed around the periphery of the irregularly shaped flan, translating as 'of Great King, King of Kings, Azes the Great.' The reverse die work is of comparable low relief to the obverse, and heavy patination and surface corrosion are consistent with extended burial or circulation. The lion type mirrors the royal iconography employed across the broader Azes II bronze series. |

Azes II remains one of the most disputed figures in ancient numismatics — some scholars have argued he never existed at all, with coins attributed to him potentially representing later issues struck in the name of Azes I. The debate, most forcefully advanced by Nicholas Sims-Williams and Joe Cribb in the late 1990s, hinged on a re-reading of the Azes Era itself, which if recalibrated would collapse the two rulers into one.
Senior 98 places this chalkous within the lower-denomination bronze coinage used for everyday transactions in the northwestern subcontinent, where Indo-Scythian authority was administered through satraps rather than direct royal presence.
