| Reverse description | Zeus standing facing in the field, depicted in a dynamic frontal pose, his right arm raised and brandishing a thunderbolt while his left hand grasps a tall scepter. The deity is rendered in the Hellenistic style with flowing drapery about the lower body. A circular Kharosthi legend encircles the figure, providing the bilingual parallel to the obverse Greek royal titulature. The composition is typical of late Indo-Greek regal coinage, reflecting the synthesis of Hellenistic iconography with local epigraphic traditions. |
