| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Heraios facing right, with flowing hair rendered in schematic wavy lines behind the head. A tamgha symbol appears to the right of the portrait in the field. The bust is depicted in a stylized Hellenistic manner adapted to local Bactrian artistic conventions, with no surrounding legend on this face. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted figure of the king or a deity standing facing, with one arm raised, rendered in a schematic, heavily stylized manner. The figure stands on a platform or base, flanked on both sides by the Greek legend arranged in vertical columns. The overall design reflects the degenerate Hellenistic style characteristic of late Bactrian coinage, with the inscription serving as the primary framing element around the central figure. |
