| Obverse description | Central field depicts the elephant deity Ganesha seated in a frontal position, shown in a stylized Hellenistic-influenced rendering with recognizable elephant head and rotund body seated in a crossed-leg posture. The figure is rendered in relatively high relief for a hammered bronze issue, occupying the majority of the flan. A circular border of pellets or beaded rim frames the design, with the Greek legend BAΣIΛEΩΣ BAΣIΛEΩN MEΓAΛOY AZOY (King of Kings, the Great Azes) disposed around the periphery, though largely worn and partially legible on this specimen. |
