| Reverse description | Zeus Nikephoros seated on a throne facing left, holding a Nike (Victory) in his outstretched right hand and a long sceptre in his left, in the Hellenistic divine iconographic tradition. An elephant, the dynastic symbol associated with Antialcidas and emblematic of his eastern campaigns, stands to the right. The field is enclosed by a beaded border, and a Kharosthi legend encircles the design, providing the bilingual character typical of Indo-Greek coinage. |
