Obverse: Crowned half-length bust on clouds, halo around head, holding scepter, with Bactrian legend around ÞAONANOÞAO OOηÞKI KOÞANO, king of kings, Huvishka Kushan. Reverse: Shaoreoro standing facing right, holding spear in right hand and resting shield on ground. Bactrian legend around PAOPHOPO (Shaoreoro), tamgha to left, dotted border around.
