| Reverse description | Zeus Nikephoros standing facing, depicted in a striding or frontal stance, holding a sceptre in his left hand and a Nike (Victory) figure in his right hand, consistent with standard Baktrian royal reverse types. The deity is rendered in the Hellenistic style. A Greek legend in two vertical columns flanks the central figure, reading ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΔΙΚΑΙΟΥ ΗΛΙΟΚΛΕΟΥΣ, meaning 'of the righteous King Heliokles'. The reverse is enclosed within a standard circular border. |
