| Obverse description | Central field depicts a standing male deity, likely Kartikeya (Skanda), rendered in full figure facing, wearing a tall headdress or crown, the body modelled in a robust, somewhat schematic style characteristic of late Kushan-period provincial coinage. The deity holds a long spear or lance in the left hand and appears to hold an object in the right, with a peacock or animal suggested at the lower right. A circular Brahmi legend surrounds the figure, reading 'Yaudheya Ganasya Jaya' (Victory to the Yaudheya Republic), arranged around the periphery of the flan. |
