| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a similarly heavily encrusted surface, with green cuprite and mineral deposits obscuring virtually all original design detail. Faint horizontal striations and irregular surface contours may represent the remnants of a symbolic or geometric device, though no definitive iconographic element can be identified with certainty. The coin is anepigraphic on this side as well, bearing no legible inscription or legend. The irregular flan edge and overall fabric are consistent with the low-denomination potin coinage associated with the Western Satraps series. Surface porosity and pitting are characteristic of the potin alloy composition and long burial conditions. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Western Satraps ruled the western and central Indian subcontinent for roughly four centuries, yet their smallest denominations — particularly anepigraphic potin units like this one — remain poorly understood in terms of local administrative function. Pieper's grouping of 3469–3478 covers a range of dies with no consistent iconographic program, suggesting ad hoc production rather than centrally controlled minting.
