	Many coins are reported in Chandragupta II with the reverse face but this combination of reverse face and reverse archer is offered for the first time. The interesting thing to note here is that the bow is held by king in reverse position and his hand is coming within the bow and resting at the center of the bow. Usually what we see is the reverse looking king with his hand going up and holding the bow from the top but this specimen has the hand coming to the down holding the bow from the center. The bow is seen resting on the shoulders of the king. And if the reverse is observed than the lotus stem will be seen going from inside the lower part of hand to the top. This type of the king&rsquo;s position makes this specimen amazing. Lovely artistic features overall on this beautiful specimen.

	BMC catalog does not list this in their collection ,very interesting specimen missing from various collections.
