(a.) Of this kind there are five specimens : 
No. I Obverse —Figure of king to the front, head turned to the left, 
with a thick closely cut full-beard (in most specimens so much abrased as 
to give the appearance of a beardless face,) dressed in a coat and a low 
Tartar cap with fillets and frontlet, in the right hand a mace or short club, 
leaning on the shoulder ; monogram (No. 1, on table III, FI. I.) behind the 
head ; below the bust and all round it the inscription. 
Reverse—Naked standing male human figure turned to the front ; head to 
the right; apparently leaning back with the left elbow on some invisible sup¬ 
port, hid by a skin thrown over the left lower arm ; in the left hand a short 
club, right hand raised and resting on a spear which is surmounted by a trident 
and combined half way down the staff with an axe ; hair done in a cone on 
the top of the head. Monogram double, on right aud left (table III, 
PI. I. Nos. 2, 3) ; inscription running all round. 
No. II. A duplicate of No. I. 
No. III. Obverse —Like that of No. I, except the head-dress being a 
high Tartar cap, like those given in Wilson’s Ariana Antigua, PI. X, 7, 8,13. 
Reverse —Like that of No. I. 
No. IY. and No. Y. duplicates of No. III. 
( b .) Of this kind there are three specimens : 
No. VI. Obverse —Bust of king to the front; head turned to the 
right; dressed in Tartar coat and high cap with ordinary fillets and front- 
let ; in the right hand a mace carried erect; monogram behind the head ; 
inscription below and around the bust. 
Reverse —Like that of No. I. 
Nos. VII, VIII, and IX duplicates of No. VI. 
Of Nos. I and II no specimens are given by Wilson in his Ariana 
Antigua. Nos. I and II are in a good state of preservation ; Nos. VII 
and VIII are fairly good ; the rest are very much worn ; especially Nos. 
Ill and V which are for the most part effaced. 
Explanation. 
(1.) Figures. Alike on all coins I to VIIIthe bust on the obverse 
evidently a portrait of king Kadphises; features Tartar; very heavy, 
especially in the lower part of the face. The figure on the reverse very 
closely resembles that on the reverse of the coins of Kadphises or Kadaphes 
under Su-Hermaeus. On the 'latter coins it is a figure of Hercules in 
the conventional posture, as seen, e. g., in the well-known Ercole Farnese 
in Naples. It is a naked standing Hercules, to the front, slightly reclining 
on his left elbow; the lion’s skin hanging over the left lower arm, and 
the Ilesperide apple in the left hand ; the right hand resting on his club, 
the butt end of which is on the ground (see Wilson’s Ariana Antigua, 309,
