| Obverse description | King Huviska depicted in left profile, seated atop an elephant advancing to the right. The royal figure wears a distinctive Kushan crown and regalia, positioned prominently above the elephant's back. The elephant is rendered in a stylized, frontal-body manner with legs visible beneath, characteristic of Kushan artistic convention. The field surrounding the central device retains traces of a Bactrian legend along the periphery. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, typical of struck copper issues of this series. |
