| Obverse description | King Huvishka depicted in regal attire, seated in three-quarter view atop an elephant advancing to the left, the royal figure holding attributes of sovereignty. The king wears a distinctive Kushan crown and is shown in the characteristic frontal style of Kushan coinage. A Bactrian legend surrounds the central device, reading ΦAO HÞKI KOÞANO, identifying the ruler as the Kushan king. The flan is irregular and the design, executed in the hammered tradition, exhibits the bold, slightly crude relief typical of Kushan bronze issues. |
