| Reverse description | A zebu (humped bull) stands in profile to the right in the central field, rendered with characteristic attention to the pronounced dorsal hump and sturdy legs. A dynastic monogram appears to the right of the bull in the field. A Kharoshthi legend reading 'Rajatirajasa mahatasa Moasa' (of the Great King of Kings, Maues) encircles the central device, distributed around the border of the flan. The execution is consistent with the bilingual coinage tradition of Maues, blending Hellenistic iconographic conventions with South Asian epigraphic practice. |
