| Obverse description | Diademed bust of Hermaios in right profile, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition and imitated from Indo-Greek coinage, with draped shoulders visible at the truncation. A degraded Greek legend encircles the effigy in the field, reading partially as BAΣIΛEΩΣ ΣTHPOΣΣV EPMAIOV. The portrait displays the characteristic simplified die-cutting style of early Kushan coinage, combining Hellenistic iconographic conventions with local craftsmanship. The flan is irregular, typical of hammered copper issues of this period. |
