| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Abdagases I facing right, rendered in a rough provincial style characteristic of the Arachosia mint. The king's hair is depicted in wavy locks swept back from the forehead, with a diadem visible above. A partial Greek legend surrounds the effigy, reading ΒΑΣΙΛΕΨΣ ΣΨΤΗΡΟΣ ΑΒΔΑΓΑΣΟΥ (King Saviour Abdagases), though portions are partially off-flan due to the irregular fabric of the flan. The portrait shows the bold, somewhat crude engraving typical of late Indo-Parthian provincial coinage. |
