| Obverse description | Highly stylized and degenerate bust of the king facing right, rendered in the late Kshatrapa tradition with schematized facial features. The effigy is presented in a flat, linear style characteristic of early Maitraka coinage, with the head occupying the central field. The overall design reflects the progressive abstraction of the Sasanian-derived royal portrait common to western Indian dynastic issues of this period. |
