Beschrijving voorzijde King Abdagases I depicted on horseback in right profile, riding at a walking pace across the central field. The royal rider is shown wearing a diadem and Parthian-style dress, holding what appears to be a lance or sceptre. The equestrian figure is rendered in the debased Hellenistic artistic tradition characteristic of late Indo-Parthian coinage. A circular border of pellets frames the central design, with a corrupt Greek legend running along the outer rim reading ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΟΝΤΟΣ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΝ ΑΒΔΑΓΑΣΟΥ, identifying the king as 'King of Kings Abdagases'.

Beschrijving keerzijde Standing figure of Nike or a deity occupying the central field, depicted in three-quarter view facing left, holding a long palm branch or standard in the left hand and extending the right arm forward, possibly offering a wreath or diadem. The figure is rendered in a debased Hellenistic style typical of Indo-Parthian coinage of this period. A dotted border surrounds the central design, with a Kharosthi legend encircling the entire field, reading GADAPHARABHRATAPUTRASA MAHARAJASA TRATARASA AVADAGASHASA, translating as 'Of the great king, the saviour Abdagases, son of the brother of Gondophares'.
