| Reverse description | Standing royal figure depicted frontally at centre, wearing a tall headdress and elaborate draped robes, rendered in a flat, schematic style consistent with Alchon Hunnic artistic conventions. The figure appears to hold an object, possibly a staff or sceptre, before an altar or ceremonial element at the lower field. The surrounding field is largely plain with traces of peripheral decorative border elements visible on the irregular flan. The strike is characteristically weak in areas, as expected for hammered coinage of this period and region. |
