| Reverse description | The reverse presents the goddess Athena or Nike standing in three-quarter view, draped in a long chiton with detailed pleating, extending her right arm forward and holding a Nike figurine or wreath, in a posture derived from Hellenistic prototypes. A small figure or symbol appears in the lower right field. The design is enclosed within a beaded border. The surrounding Kharosthi inscription, reading 'Maharajasa Rajarajasa Mahatasa Ayasa,' is the Prakrit equivalent of the Greek obverse legend, proclaiming Azes as the Great King of Kings. |
