| Beschrijving voorzijde | King Vasudeva I depicted standing in frontal view, clad in Kushan royal regalia including armored coat and tall crown; the king extends his right hand holding a trident adorned with a distinctive semicircle of pellets, while his left hand rests at his side. A sacrificial altar or flame altar is visible to the lower left of the figure. Legends in Bactrian script appear in the field to either side of the royal effigy. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat flat, typical of late Kushan bronze production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vasudeva I ruled at the peak of Kushan power, yet his coinage presents a persistent classification problem: die studies have struggled to establish a clean chronology across his reign, and what numismatists label "middle phase" reflects stylistic drift rather than a documented administrative change. The Kushan monetary system under Vasudeva operated on a gold-dominant hierarchy, making bronze issues secondary denominational instruments tied to local market exchange rather than imperial prestige.
The Zeno catalog reference places this among individually documented specimens rather than a standard type series — worth noting when assessing die links.
