| Obverse description | Draped bust of the ruler facing right, depicted in the Indo-Scythian style with wavy hair rendered in flowing lines descending behind the neck. The head is shown in profile with a pointed nose and naturalistic facial features characteristic of late Western Satrap coinage. A simple diadem or headband is visible above the brow. The field surrounding the bust is plain, with faint Brahmi script visible toward the left margin. The style reflects the degraded Hellenistic artistic tradition as transmitted through successive Satrap issues. |
