| Reverse description | The reverse presents a standing figure of Zeus Nikephoros facing left, his extended right hand offering a small Nike (Victory) figurine and his left hand grasping a long scepter. A rectangular control box appears in the left field before the deity, with an additional control mark positioned in the right field. The design follows standard Hellenistic iconographic conventions adapted for Indo-Scythian royal coinage. A Kharosthi legend encircles the type, reading 'Maharajasa rajatirajasa mahatasa Ayasa,' meaning 'of the Great King of Kings, the Great Azes,' with the abbreviation SAM indicating a regnal era notation. |
