| Reverse description | The king on horseback, helmeted and in full military attire, galloping vigorously to the right in a dynamic equestrian composition typical of Indo-Greek royal coinage. A monogram appears beneath the horse in the lower field, serving as a mint or workshop control mark. The Kharosthi legend surrounding the design is the Prakrit transliteration of the Greek obverse inscription, identifying the king as Maharaja Apadiha(ta) Philasina. The reverse reflects the bilingual and bicultural character of Indo-Greek numismatic art. |
