From impressions.
L. 2. A letter somewhat resembling ysа seems to have been originally engraved here but
subsequently erased owing probably to the fact that the engraving was attempted on an
already peeled off surface. The doubling of k is peculiar to this inscription and to the
only copper coin known of the time of Chaштana (see, Rapson, op. cit., p. 75, No. 264).
cf. See, above, p. 139, note 4.
L. 4. Between нa and sa, some gap exists, due to the fact that the surface there was not
even for engraving the letter sa.
