| Obverse description | Bust of the ruler Adomano facing right, depicted in the Sasanian-derived style with an elaborate crescent-and-globe crown surmounted by a pellet diadem, characteristic of Alchon Hunnic royal portraiture. The hair is rendered in a swept-back manner with pendant locks visible behind the ear, and a prominent earring with globular pendant adorns the ear. A Bactrian legend curves around the periphery of the field, partially legible due to wear. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, and a post-mint suspension hole is present in the left field. |
