| Beschrijving voorzijde | Heroic draped and cuirassed bust of Eukratides I facing right, wearing a crested Boeotian helmet adorned with a bull's ear and horn. The king's youthful, clean-shaven effigy is rendered in high relief in the Hellenistic artistic tradition, with fine details visible in the facial features and musculature. His right hand is raised toward the shoulder, gripping a spear. Radiating lines in the left field suggest a divine or solar association, enhancing the regal iconography of the portrait. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two equestrian figures — the Dioskouroi, Castor and Pollux — galloping to the right, each armed with a spear and wearing crested helmets; a palm frond is visible below the horses' hooves. The circular Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΜΕΓΑΛΟΥ ΕΥΚΡΑΤΙΔΟΥ (Of Great King Eukratides) surrounds the central device, with ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΜΕΓΑΛΟΥ arching across the upper field and ΕΥΚΡΑΤΙΔΟΥ positioned along the lower field. The composition is dynamic and energetic, rendered in the vigorous Hellenistic style characteristic of Baktrian royal coinage. The field is flat and unadorned, allowing the elaborate equestrian group to dominate the design. |
