Obverse description Zebu bull standing to right in the central field, rendered in a schematic provincial style characteristic of early Kushan coinage. A degraded Greek legend encircles the device, the individual letterforms heavily blundered and largely illegible due to the local die-cutter's limited familiarity with the Greek alphabet. The overall strike is irregular, with the design occupying most of the flan and showing typical flatness consistent with hammered copper issues of this period.
