Reverse description Central device depicting a three-arched hill or chaitya symbol (a stylized representation of a Buddhist chaitya or stupa) surmounted by a crescent and flanked by dotted ornaments, all within a circular arrangement of Brahmi and Kharoshthi legends. The inscriptions encircle the central symbol and record the ruler's name and titles. The design follows the standard reverse type of Western Satrap drachms, derived ultimately from the coinage of the Indo-Greek and Indo-Scythian traditions. The flan is irregular and the strike slightly off-center, consistent with hand-struck production.
