| Obverse description | Equestrian effigy of the king advancing to the right, depicted in profile mounted on horseback. A standing retainer faces left before the king, raising both arms in the act of presenting or bestowing a crown upon the mounted ruler. The figures are rendered in the debased late Kushan artistic tradition, with bold, schematic relief typical of Alchon Hun coinage. The field is plain with no surrounding legend. |
