| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of King Hippostratos facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition with finely detailed hair bound by a royal diadem with trailing ribbons visible behind the neck. The effigy displays characteristic Indo-Greek stylistic features, with the king shown in three-quarter perspective. A circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait in the field, reading BAΣIΛEΩΣ ΣΩTHΡΩΣ IΠΠOΣTΡATOΥ, identifying the king by his royal epithet 'Saviour'. |
