| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rudrasena II ruled the Western Satraps for roughly two decades during a period of sustained pressure from the Gupta empire to the east. His reign ended around 278 AD, and within a generation the Satrap dynasty would face existential challenges from Chandragupta II, whose eventual conquest of the Western Satraps around 395 AD effectively ended silver coinage production in the region altogether. The die references JA Delhi#581 and AMF#27.1 help distinguish his issues from the near-identical output of contemporaneous rulers — Satrap silver was struck to a degraded standard by this period, and attribution without reference catalogues is genuinely difficult.
