Reverse description Zeus standing three-quarters to the left, nude but for a himation draped over the left arm, extending his right hand to present a thunderbolt and holding a tall sceptre in his left. A dynastic monogram appears in the right field. The entire design is encircled by a Kharoshthi legend rendering the royal title and name in the local Prakrit language, maintaining the bilingual tradition characteristic of Indo-Scythian royal coinage. The style follows Hellenistic conventions adapted for the eastern market.
