Obverse description Diademed and draped bust of the king facing right, rendered in a crude, schematic style characteristic of late Indo-Scythian coinage. The effigy displays a distinctive tiara or diadem, with broad facial features and a globular pellet visible below the neck truncation. A degraded and largely illegible Greek legend encircles the bust in the field.

Reverse description Athena Alkidemos standing left, depicted in a striding posture with arm raised and poised to hurl a javelin, consistent with the standard Athena Alkidemos type employed by Indo-Scythian satraps. A globular pellet or symbol appears to the left of the figure. Kharoshthi legend encircles the design in the field, identifying the issuing authority.
