| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

The Kidarite kingdom that produced this issue was itself a successor fragment of the broader Kushano-Sasanian collapse — a dynasty squeezed between Gupta expansion to the east and Hephthalite pressure from the north. By the seventh century, the surviving tribal issues from the Kashmir and Jammu region show progressive gold debasement that tracks, almost coin by coin, the erosion of whatever central authority remained. This piece falls squarely in that deteriorating phase.
The Pashupati type persisted long after the political structures that originated it had dissolved, copied by local chieftains who understood its prestige value even as they quietly reduced the fineness.
