| Reverse description | Standing male deity, identified as Zeus or Athena in Hellenistic convention but here likely representing a syncretic Indo-Greek divinity, shown in full frontal pose with one arm raised and holding an attribute such as a Nike or a wreath. To the left of the figure, a dynastic monogram or control mark is prominently displayed in the field. The Kharosthi legend encircles the design, reading 'Maharajasa Rajadirajasa Mahatasa Ayasa', the Prakrit equivalent of the obverse Greek titulature. A dotted border frames the entire reverse composition. |
