| Obverse description | Highly stylised effigy of a king standing in profile facing right, rendered in a schematic, abstract manner characteristic of late Kidarite coinage. The royal figure is depicted with arms raised, adorned with beaded ornaments and a headdress, surrounded by decorative elements including pellets and geometric motifs in the field. A Brahmi legend reading 'Kidara' is disposed around the central figure. The overall design reflects a significant degradation from earlier Kushan prototypes, with the figurative elements reduced to near-symbolic forms. |
