| Obverse description | Diademed bust of king in the style of Hermaios facing right, rendered in a somewhat degenerate Hellenistic manner characteristic of late Indo-Greek imitative coinage. The effigy displays a diadem with flowing ends, with the features reduced in detail consistent with a blundered imitative issue. A degraded and largely illegible Greek legend encircles the bust in the field. |

| Reverse description | Heracles standing facing, nude, with his weight shifted in a slight contrapposto stance, holding a club in his right hand and the Nemean lion skin draped over his left arm. The figure is rendered in a debased Hellenistic style typical of late Indo-Scythian imitative bronzes. A blundered and partially legible Kharosthi legend encircles the central type in the field. |
