| Reverse description | Standing figure of Apollo facing left, nude, resting his left arm upon a tall grounded bow and holding an arrow in his right hand; the god stands on a short base or exergual line. The field is divided by the bilingual legend: the Greek royal titulary inscribed vertically to the right and the Kharoshthi legend to the left, both flanking the central deity. The composition follows the standard Baktrian royal reverse type, rendered in a fine Hellenistic engraving style with well-modeled musculature. |
