| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of King Philoxenus facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition. The diadem ribbons are visible behind the head, and the bust is presented with military or royal drapery. The Greek legend surrounding the effigy identifies the king by his royal epithet ANIKETOS (Invincible). The portrait occupies the central field of the square flan, consistent with the bilingual coinage series of the Indo-Greek kings. |
