| Reverse description | Standing figure of the goddess Tyche (or Athena Alkidemos) facing left, rendered in the round in Hellenistic style, wearing a kalathos (modius) on her head and holding in her right hand an olive branch and in her left a cornucopia overflowing with fruit, symbolising abundance and royal prosperity. A palm frond leans to the left of the figure, and a long sceptre or spear rests diagonally to her left side. The entire composition is encircled by a Kharosthi legend reading the royal title and name in the Prakrit language, providing the bilingual character typical of Indo-Greek coinage. The flan is irregular and the relief is bold despite moderate wear. |
