Reverse description The deity Shiva stands frontally before the sacred bull Nandi, whose head is rendered in full front view. The god is attired in Sasanian court garments and wears a Sasanian-style diadem, holding a trident in his left hand and a noose in his right hand. The composition reflects the syncretic religious imagery characteristic of the Kushan-Sasanian coinage, combining Iranian royal dress with Hindu devotional iconography.
