| Obverse description | Bust of the ruler facing right, wearing a tall, elaborate crown with multiple tiers; a beaded necklace and earring are visible. The facial features are rendered in a stylized Gandharan tradition, with a prominent eye depicted frontally despite the profile orientation. A thunderbolt symbol appears to the right of the bust in the field. Subsidiary symbols or tamgha marks flank the effigy on either side, characteristic of Alchon Hun coinage of this period. |
