| Obverse lettering | Meghana Siva Pashupati (Translation: Meghana Lord of the Beasts) |
| Reverse description | The goddess Ardoxsho, equated with the Indian Lakshmi, is depicted enthroned and facing, holding a lotus blossom in each outstretched hand in a formal hieratic pose. A Kidara dynastic monogram appears to her left in the field, serving as a dynastic identifier. A Brahmi legend reading 'jaya' (Victory) is inscribed to her right. The composition reflects the syncretic blending of Bactrian, Iranian, and Indian artistic traditions characteristic of Kidarite royal coinage of this period. |
