| Reverse description | Pallas Athena standing right, depicted in a highly schematized and degenerate style typical of late Indo-Parthian provincial issues, holding a thunderbolt in one hand and a shield in the other. The figure is rendered in bold, simplified strokes that reflect the artistic degradation common to Kushan-era transitional coinage. A Kharosthi legend, partially legible, surrounds the deity in the field. The overall composition is crude but consistent with the MIG-referenced types attributed to Abdagases I in the Jammu region. |
