| Reverse description | Central device depicts a three-arched chaitya (Buddhist hill symbol) with a river or wavy line below, symbolizing the sacred site. Above the chaitya, a crescent moon appears to the left and a solar symbol to the right, flanking the central motif in the upper field. A Brahmi legend encircles the entire design, naming the issuing ruler and his lineage in the standard Western Satrap formulaic titulature. The composition follows the canonical reverse type established by the Western Satraps dynasty and used consistently across their coinage. |
