| Obverse description | Crude bust of a long-haired, diademed ruler facing left, rendered in a debased provincial style characteristic of Central Asian coinage of the period. The hair falls in thick, roughly delineated strands framing the face, and the diadem is indicated by a band across the forehead. The portrait occupies the full field of the flan, with no visible legend or inscription on the obverse. The overall execution reflects the declining engraving standards associated with later Kangju issue types. |
