| Obverse description | Laureate head of Dionysus facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with delicate facial features and carefully detailed hair. A wreath of laurel crowns the deity's head, and a thyrsus — the characteristic staff of Dionysus — is visible rising over the left shoulder. The portrait is executed with considerable artistry, displaying the refined Greek craftsmanship characteristic of Baktrian coinage. A beaded border frames the design around the coin's periphery. |
