正面描述 Highly stylized, schematic depiction of the deity Shiva accompanied by a bull (Nandi), rendered in the provincial Indo-Sassanian artistic tradition. The figures are executed in bold, linear relief with minimal detail, characteristic of the debased coinage of the Kota Kula principality. The composition occupies the full field of the flan, with no surrounding legend or border. The irregular, roughly circular flan exhibits the typical fabric of hammered copper-alloy issues of the period.

附加信息

Mitchiner's Ancient & Classical World places these issues within the broader coinage of the Indo-Greek successor states of Bactria, where local princelings struck debased imitations of Hellenistic tetradrachms long after the Greek kingdoms themselves had collapsed. By this period the denomination had lost almost all connection to its original weight standard — a bronze piece of 5 grams calling itself a tetradrachm is purely conventional, the name surviving the metal by centuries.
