| Beschrijving voorzijde | Degraded and schematically rendered diademed bust of a king facing right, derived from the prototype of the Greco-Bactrian ruler Heliocles I, executed in a barbarous imitative style characteristic of early Indo-Scythian coinage. The facial features are heavily stylised, with the diadem rendered as a series of raised lines above the brow. The surrounding field is largely plain, with the flan exhibiting irregular edges and surface corrosion consistent with a copper fabric of considerable age. No legible legend is discernible on this side. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicting a Zeus-type figure standing facing, shown in a schematic, barbarised rendering typical of Indo-Scythian imitative issues derived from Heliocles prototypes; the deity appears to hold an attribute in the raised hand. A degraded Greek circular legend runs around the periphery of the flan, largely illegible due to the poor state of preservation and the irregular flan edges. The overall execution reflects the progressive debasement of Hellenistic artistic conventions as adopted by Indo-Scythian die-cutters. Kharoshthi script traces may also be present in the field or around the margin, consistent with the bilingual tradition of this series. |
