| Reverse description | Kujula Kadphises depicted as an equestrian ruler, mounted on horseback and advancing to the right in a dynamic riding pose. The horse is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition, with control marks or tamgha symbols visible in the field between the horse's legs, serving as mint or dynastic identifiers. The composition reflects the Kushan adoption of nomadic royal imagery combined with Greco-Bactrian artistic conventions. A Greek legend surrounds the design, proclaiming the ruler's title and Kushan dynastic affiliation. |
