| Reverse description | The goddess Ardoxsho (Kushan deity of fortune and prosperity, cognate with Ashi Vanghuhi) stands in frontal pose, her head turned slightly, draped in long robes rendered in fine engraved lines. She holds a cornucopia in her right hand, its overflowing form depicted to her left side. To the right of the figure appears the distinctive Kushan dynastic tamgha symbol in the field. A partial Bactrian legend reading ΑΡΔΟΧϷΟ (Ardoxsho) is inscribed to the left of the figure. |
