| Obverse description | Bust of the ruler Napki Malka facing right, wearing an elaborate winged or crested helmet with bull horns, rendered in the Sasanian tradition. The effigy is depicted with stylized facial features and draped shoulders, enclosed within a beaded border. Pahlavi legends appear in the right field and behind the bust to the left. The overall die style reflects the late Kushano-Sasanian artistic tradition, with strong Sasanian iconographic influence adapted by the Hephthalite rulers of the Kabul region. |
