(1) Both use the same titles of ΒΑСΙΛΕΥС ΒΑСΙΛΕωΝ СωΤΗΡΜΕΓΑС in the nominative case.

(2) Both make use of a circular margin composed of reels and pellets, in the place of the native legend.

(3) Wema Kadphises holds a club upright before his face. The Nameless King holds a sceptre upright before his face.

(4) Both use the same peculiar form of the Gandharian letter j,” i.e. the form which has a small stroke to the right at the foot of the slanting vertical stroke.
