| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of the sun-god Miiro facing right, with five prominent rays radiating from his head in a nimbus-like arrangement. The deity raises an arrow tied with ribbons in his right hand, a characteristic iconographic attribute. A three-pronged tamga symbol appears in the left field. The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic-influenced Kushan artistic tradition, combining Iranian and Greco-Bactrian stylistic elements. |

| Reverse description | The king depicted on horseback advancing to the right, attired in a soft Iranian cap, a diadem with long flowing ties, a nomadic jacket, and trousers — the characteristic costume of Kushan royal equestrian iconography. The rider holds a pick-axe in his raised right hand. A three-pronged tamga symbol is placed in the right field. The Greek legend surrounding the scene proclaims the royal titulature of the issuing monarch. |
