| Aversbeschreibung | Diademed and draped bust of King Hermaios facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition with a beaded diadem securing the hair. The portrait displays a strong, naturalistic profile characteristic of late Indo-Greek coinage. A bilingual legend encircles the effigy, with Greek inscription in the upper field and Kharoshthi script to the left and lower periphery. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, consistent with cast copper issues of this period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Hermaeus was almost certainly the last Indo-Greek king, his authority by this period reduced to a shrinking pocket of territory in the Paropamisadae — modern northeastern Afghanistan — as Yuezhi nomads pressed relentlessly from the north and Scythian power consolidated to the south and west. These late copper issues, struck in his name across what may span decades, were likely produced by successor rulers or local mints invoking his name for legitimacy long after any centralized Indo-Greek authority had collapsed. The practice of posthumous or pseudo-autonomous coinage in his name muddies attribution considerably.
Senior's typology distinguishes this piece at 41aT, a late and relatively coarse emission within the series.
