| Obverse description | Highly stylized and schematically rendered bust of the ruler facing right, depicted in the late Kushano-Sasanian tradition with a pronounced diadem and elaborate flame-like or ribbon headdress rendered in concentric arched lines. The face is shown in profile with a prominent nose, the neck adorned with a necklace or collar indicated by a cluster of globular pellets. Subsidiary symbols including a crescent and geometric devices occupy the left field, while wavy lines and pellet groupings fill the right field. The overall style reflects the progressive debasement and artistic schematization characteristic of late Kidarite coinage. |
