| Obverse description | 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. |
