Obverse description King Hermaios depicted as a diademed equestrian figure mounted on a prancing horse moving to the right, rendered in the Hellenistic artistic tradition. The rider is shown in profile, with the horse's forelegs raised in a dynamic posture. A circular Greek legend surrounds the central device within the coin's field. The die work is characteristic of the late Indo-Greek hammered coinage, with irregular flan shaping typical of the period.
