| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Nikephoros seated in three-quarter view on a high-backed throne, his body turned slightly to the left, holding a thunderbolt in his outstretched right hand and a long sceptre in his left. The figure is rendered in a somewhat debased Hellenistic style typical of Indo-Scythian imitative issues. A rectangular dynastic monogram appears prominently in the left field. Kharosthi legends border the design around the periphery of the flan. The overall composition closely follows the prototype of Hermaeus but with the cruder workmanship characteristic of Scythian imitations. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
These imitative drachms copying the types of Hermaeus — the last credible Greek king in the Kabul region — were struck by incoming Scythian rulers who lacked the administrative infrastructure to introduce wholly new coinage immediately. The monogram placement serves as one of the few diagnostic tools numismatists use to sort this tangled series, with Bop's classification being the primary framework for attribution since no mint signatures survive.
