| Obverse description | Highly stylised and schematised effigy of the king standing in profile facing right, rendered in the degenerate late Kidarite tradition with heavily abstracted bodily forms. The royal figure is depicted with a crested or horned headdress and wears regalia indicated by simplified linear elements. Brahmi legends occupy the surrounding field, arranged around the central royal effigy. The overall execution reflects the progressive artistic debasement characteristic of late Kidarite coinage, with bold relief but diminished iconographic clarity. |
