| Reverse description | Standing figure of Zeus Nikephoros facing left, depicted in Hellenistic fashion with flowing drapery, holding a Nike (Victory) in his outstretched right hand and a sceptre or long staff in his left hand. The composition follows the standard reverse type employed by Hermaeus, derived from earlier Indo-Greek regal coinage. Kharosthi legend surrounds the central device, reading 'Maharajasa tratarasa Heramayasa', the Prakrit equivalent of the obverse Greek royal titulature. The field is heavily worn but retains the principal iconographic elements consistent with the Bopearachchi series 10 type. |
