| Beschrijving keerzijde | A standing male deity depicted in frontal or three-quarter stance, positioned before a bull facing left. The figure is rendered in a schematic, low-relief style consistent with provincial Kushan-influenced copper coinage of the 1st to 3rd century CE. The bull is shown in profile to the left, serving as the principal divine attribute of the deity, likely identifiable with Shiva or a related Indo-Iranian divinity. The field is unadorned and no legend is present. The design is characteristic of the local Kota Kula series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kota Kula was a minor Indo-Greek successor state operating in the northwestern Indian subcontinent during a period when Kushan dynastic pressure was progressively absorbing smaller principalities. Copper tetradrachms of this type circulated as low-denomination trade coinage in markets where silver had largely retreated from everyday exchange.
The ACR reference places this among a loosely catalogued group of issues whose attribution to specific rulers remains contested — die linkage studies have done more to establish the sequence of these coinages than any surviving written record.
