| 表面の説明 | Degraded bust of the king facing right, rendered in the late Indo-Sasanian style derived from Sasanian royal portraiture. The effigy displays flowing hair swept to the left with schematic ribbon or fillet details, and a partially visible helmet or headdress above the forehead. Facial features are summarily executed, with a prominent ear rendered in relief on the left side of the bust. A short Brahmi legend is partially visible along the lower margin of the flan. |

The Maitrakas emerged as a power in Saurashtra (modern Gujarat) following the collapse of Gupta imperial authority in the region, establishing Valabhī as their capital around 470 CE. Their coinage — including this drachm — derives its fabric directly from late Western Kshatrapa issues, a monetary tradition the Maitrakas inherited and continued with minimal modification. Madasena is among the lesser-documented rulers of the dynasty, and attributions within this period remain contested among specialists.
