| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Demetrius II (Demetrius Anicetus or a local successor) facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition with naturalistic portraiture. The royal diadem is visible around the head, with strands trailing behind. A Greek legend runs along the periphery of the flan, partially visible given the irregular striking. The portrait occupies the central field, exhibiting the characteristic high-relief style of Bactrian royal coinage. |
