| Aversbeschreibung | Full standing effigy of the king Kidara I facing left, depicted in royal Kushano-Sasanian style with elaborate headdress and billowing drapery. The ruler is shown wearing a long robe adorned with pellet ornaments, holding what appears to be a sceptre or sacrificial implement. A Brahmi legend reading KIDARA KUSHANA is positioned in the field. The overall style reflects the late Kushan artistic tradition, rendered in high-relief hammered gold with characteristic stylised drapery folds. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Frontal bust of a female deity, identified as Ardoxsho (the Kushan goddess of fortune and abundance), depicted with an elaborate crown or halo of flames and wearing draped robes, seated in a formal hieratic pose. The figure is rendered in high relief with boldly modelled features characteristic of late Kushan coinage. A Bactrian legend in Greek-derived script appears in the field identifying the goddess. The die work shows the vigorous but somewhat barbarised execution typical of Kidarite gold coinage from the Gandhara mint. |

The Kidarites emerged as the Kushano-Sasanian administration collapsed under pressure from their own eastward advance, and Kidara I is generally credited as the dynasty's founder or consolidator — the historical record is thin enough that scholars still argue both points. These dinars imitate the late Kushan gold coinage so closely that attribution long remained confused, and many pieces sat misidentified in older collections under Kushan kings they were never struck by.
The Gandhara mint attribution distinguishes this issue from related Bactrian-region strikes, a separation made possible largely through die studies and find-spot analysis rather than explicit mint marks.
