| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Demetrios I of Baktria facing right, helmeted with an elephant scalp — an iconographic allusion to his Indian conquests and association with the Dionysian and Heraklean traditions. The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic style with fine naturalistic modelling, the elephant's trunk curving over the brow and the tusks flanking the cheeks. The field is plain, with no legend on the obverse, following the established convention for this coin type. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Heroic standing figure of Heracles shown full-face, nude, in a frontal pose characteristic of the Baktrian royal coinage. He raises his right hand to crown himself with a wreath, while his left arm supports his club and the Nemean lion's skin draped over it. A dynastic monogram appears in the lower inner left field. The surrounding Greek legend names the issuing king, and the overall composition reflects the strong Hellenistic artistic tradition maintained by the Baktrian court. |
