| Reverse description | Standing figure of Athena Alkidemos facing left, helmeted and clad in a short chiton, her left arm bearing a large round shield decorated with a dotted boss pattern, her right arm raised and extending a sprig of olive or laurel. Two rectangular monograms flank the goddess in the field — one to the left and one to the right — serving as mint or magistrate control marks characteristic of this issue. The Kharosthi legend encircles the central design, reading Maharajasa tratarasa Apaladatasa. The composition reflects the standard reverse type adopted for Indo-Greek silver coinage of this period. |
