| Obverse description | Draped bust of the ruler facing right, depicted in three-quarter profile, surmounted by an elaborate winged bull-head crown with prominent horns and spread wings rendered in low relief. The effigy displays finely modelled facial features with a broad collar or necklace visible at the neck. A Pahlavi legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, identifying the issuer as the Nezak king. The overall artistic style reflects a strong Sasanian influence adapted to the Hephthalite-Nezak tradition. |
