| Reverse description | Standing female figure, identified as Nike or a local deity, depicted facing slightly left in flowing robes with wings visible at the shoulders, rendered in low relief consistent with the provincial hammered technique. The figure appears to hold a wreath or palm in one hand, with the other arm extended. Kharoshthi legend is partially visible in the field and exergue, providing the bilingual character typical of Indo-Parthian coinage from Arachosia. The overall style reflects the Hellenistic artistic tradition adapted through local Parthian workshop conventions. |
