| Reverse description | Standing figure of Heracles facing, nude, wearing a laurel wreath on his head, resting his right hand upon a grounded club and draping the Nemean lion skin over his left forearm. The deity is depicted in a frontal contrapposto stance consistent with Hellenistic artistic conventions employed across Indo-Greek coinage. The Kharosthi legend surrounds the figure, providing the bilingual titulature of the king for his Indian subjects. The reverse type closely follows the Heracles reverse tradition established by earlier Indo-Greek rulers. |
