Obverse description Draped bust of the king facing right, wearing a diadem with ribbons visible behind the head, the hair rendered in stylized flowing strands characteristic of Western Satrap coinage. A regnal date appears in the left field behind the head, rendered in a degenerate, corrupt form of the Greek numeral script. A debased Greek legend encircles the effigy, largely illegible due to the progressive stylistic degradation typical of late Western Satrap issues. The portrait retains a strong local artistic character, blending Hellenistic conventions with indigenous Indo-Scythian stylization.
