| Obverse description | Diademed heroic bust of King Philoxenos facing left, clad in a crested Macedonian-style helmet adorned with a bull's horn and ear, evoking a divine or semi-divine martial identity. The king's right arm is raised and brandishes a spear, rendered in dynamic Hellenistic style. The legend arcs around the field in Greek script, identifying the king by his royal epithet. The portraiture reflects the vigorous engraving tradition of the late Indo-Greek series, combining Greek artistic conventions with imagery suited to an Eastern military context. |
