Obverse description Highly schematized and degraded effigy of the Kushan standing king facing, depicted in a formalized frontal stance with both arms outstretched. The figure is rendered in a stylized, almost abstract manner characteristic of late Kidarite coinage, with globular pellets distributed throughout the field suggesting decorative or symbolic elements. A Brahmi legend appears beneath the raised arm of the king, reading 'KiDaRa', identifying the dynastic name. The surrounding field is filled with schematic floral or scroll motifs, and a dotted border encircles the design.
