| Obverse description | Diademed bust of Kujula Kadphises facing right, portrayed in a schematic yet dynamic style characteristic of early Kushan coinage. The effigy is set within a beaded border composed of alternating dots and pellets. The portrait conveys regal authority through the prominent diadem, reflecting Hellenistic and Indo-Greek artistic influences absorbed by the early Kushan rulers. |
