| Beschrijving voorzijde | City Goddess (Tyche) seated three-quarter left on a throne, cradling a cornucopia in her left arm while her right hand is raised in a gesture of benediction or offering. The figure is rendered in the Hellenistic artistic tradition, with drapery falling across the seated form. A circular Greek legend surrounds the central type within the coin's field, reading BAΣIΛEΩΣ BAΣIΛEΩN MEΓAΛOY / AZOY, identifying the issuer as the Great King of Kings, Azes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Azes II remains a contested figure — some scholars have argued he never existed at all, with coins attributed to him possibly representing a continuation of the Azes I mint under dynastic or satrapal authority after the king's death. The chronological overlap between late Azes I and early Azes II issues has never been satisfactorily resolved, and Mitchiner's own attribution has been disputed in subsequent literature.
Copper denominations like this pentachalkon circulated in the northwestern subcontinent through a period of accelerating political fragmentation, as Indo-Scythian control was being squeezed between the Parthians to the west and nascent Kushan pressure from the north.
