| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed bust of King Nahapana facing right, the effigy rendered in a Greco-Indian style with finely incised hair arranged beneath a stephane or diadem. The neck and shoulder are visible, with the portrait displaying a bold, schematic treatment characteristic of Western Satrap coinage. A degraded pseudo-Greek legend, largely illegible, encircles the bust in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nahapana ruled the Western Satraps at their greatest territorial extent, controlling much of western and central India before Gautamiputra Satakarni of the Satavahana dynasty launched a devastating campaign — probably around 124 CE — that effectively ended his reign and saw large quantities of his coinage countermarked or restruck by the victorious Satavahanas. Thousands of Nahapana's silver pieces were overstruck, a rare case where a conquering dynasty's monetary policy survives in the archaeological record.
