| Reverse description | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, stands facing left in the central field, her wings spread behind her. She holds a wreath extended in her right hand and a palm frond in her left, with a dynastic monogram or control symbol visible to her lower right. The surrounding legend is rendered in Kharosthi script, reading the equivalent of 'Great King Maues', encircling the deity in the customary Indo-Scythian bilingual coin format. The overall composition closely follows Hellenistic prototypes while incorporating local epigraphic tradition, giving the reverse a hybrid artistic character. |
