| Reverse description | Zeus Nikephoros seated left on a throne, holding a Nike (winged Victory) in his outstretched right hand and a long scepter in his left, a standard reverse type employed by Antialcidas referencing his epithet 'Nikephoros' (Bearer of Victory). The figure is rendered in a schematic Hellenistic style adapted for bronze coinage. A Kharosthi legend surrounds the type, reading Maharajasa Jayadharasa Amtialikidasa, the Prakrit equivalent of the Greek royal title. The reverse flan is irregularly shaped, consistent with hand-struck production. |
