| Reverse description | Standing figure, likely Nike or a royal deity, depicted in three-quarter view holding an object — possibly a wreath or sceptre — in the raised right hand, with a Kharosthi monogram or dynastic symbol visible in the right field. The reverse design follows the standard Indo-Parthian convention of combining a Hellenistic-derived divine or royal figure with local dynastic symbols. The Kharosthi legend runs around the periphery, partially visible on this example due to the irregular flan and die wear. The style is characteristic of the Taxila Sirsukh mint workshops active during the reign of Gondophares. |
