| Aversbeschreibung | Right-facing bust of the Western Satrap ruler in profile, depicted in the Hellenistic tradition with a diademed head adorned with an elaborate headdress featuring flowing hair and decorative elements. The bust is shown with a prominent nose and strong facial features characteristic of Kshatrapa portraiture. A decorative necklace or collar is visible at the truncation. The field around the effigy is plain, with the irregular flan edges typical of hammered silver coinage of the period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Western Satraps, Indo-Scythian rulers governing northwestern India from roughly the 1st through 4th centuries AD, maintained an extraordinarily persistent coinage tradition long after their political authority had eroded. Their silver drachms were struck in enormous quantities, and the dynasty's later rulers — particularly Rudrasimha III, deposed by Chandragupta II around 395 AD — presided over issues of visibly declining silver fineness as the dynasty collapsed under Gupta pressure.
At 2.11g, this piece falls slightly below the dynasty's earlier weight standard, a drift that becomes more pronounced across later reigns.
