| 裏面の説明 | Depiction of Lord Shiva standing in the central field accompanied by his sacred mount Nandi the bull, rendered in a schematic and provincial artistic style characteristic of early post-Kushan coinage of the northwestern Indian subcontinent. The figures occupy the main field with minimal surrounding detail, reflecting the crude die-cutting typical of local copper issues of the 1st–2nd century CE. No inscriptions or legends are present. |

Kota Kula was a minor Indo-Greek successor principality operating in the northwestern subcontinent during a period when copper tetradrachms were already an anomaly — the denomination had long been associated with silver in the Hellenistic tradition. Striking it in copper signals either severe metal shortages or a localized economy largely disconnected from the broader Indo-Parthian monetary network surrounding it.
Mitchell's attribution in *Ancient Coins* remains the primary reference point; the principality's rulers are poorly documented in any literary source, leaving numismatic evidence as nearly the sole record of its existence.
