| Obverse description | Draped bust of the ruler Agesiles facing right, wearing a crested Macedonian-style helmet adorned with a cheekpiece; the portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition with carefully articulated facial features. The Greek legend APCЄIΛHC runs along the left field. The style reflects the hybrid Greco-Bactrian artistic influence characteristic of the Yuezhi tribal coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | A lion standing right with a prominent curly mane, rendered in a bold, schematic style within a dotted border. A crescent symbol appears above the animal in the upper field, with the Greek letter Λ positioned below it. Partial Greek legend distributed in the left and right fields flanks the central device, the overall composition reflecting the degenerate Hellenistic coinage style of the late Yuezhi confederation. |
