| Reverse description | Zebu (Indian humped bull) standing to the right in a sturdy, naturalistic rendering, occupying the centre of the square flan. The Kharosthi royal legend, translating as 'Of King Apollodotus the Saviour', is inscribed along the borders surrounding the central type. A monogram identified as 'A' is placed in the lower field beneath the bull, serving as a secondary control mark. The overall design reflects the bilingual and bicultural character of Indo-Greek royal coinage intended for circulation in the Indian subcontinent. |
