| Reverse description | A mounted horseman rides to the right in a dynamic pose, holding a lance or flag in his raised hand, rendered in the angular, schematic style characteristic of Shahi jitals. The rider and horse are depicted with abbreviated but expressive detail, consistent with the Gandharan coinage tradition. A Nagari legend is inscribed in the field surrounding the equestrian figure. The reverse design echoes the iconographic conventions linking Shahi rulers to the mounted warrior ideal prevalent in Central Asian numismatic art. |
