| Beschrijving keerzijde | A lion standing right, rendered in the Hellenistic-Central Asian style, positioned atop a ground line. Above the lion's back appears a crescent open downward and the Greek letter lambda (Λ), serving as a control mark or regnal symbol. The bilingual legend NANAIA is inscribed in the left field and right field flanking the central device, referencing the Iranian goddess Nanaia. The border consists of a beaded dotted circle on the irregularly shaped flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Yuezhi are better known through their later Kushan incarnation, but this small silver issue predates that consolidation — struck while the confederation was still settling into Bactria following its displacement of the Greco-Bactrian kingdom around 135 BC. Pulages appears in Senior's classification as one of the early tribal rulers, though his precise position within the confederation's hierarchy remains disputed among specialists.
At 0.66 g, these obols circulated in a region where Greek metrology had already taken root, borrowed from the Bactrian issues they supplanted.
