| Reverse description | Standing male deity, identified as Zeus or a syncretic Indo-Greek divinity, depicted facing, draped and holding an object aloft in the raised right hand with the left arm extended. The figure stands on a base or platform centrally positioned in the field, flanked by Kharosthi monograms or control marks on either side. A circular Kharosthi legend surrounds the central device, conveying the royal titulature of Azes II. The reverse continues the bilingual numismatic tradition of the Indo-Scythian rulers, combining Hellenistic iconography with Indic epigraphy. |
