Obv: King on horseback, corrupted Greek legend. Gondophares monogram
Rev: Zeus, making a benediction sign (Buddhist mudra). Kharoshthi inscription MAHARAJASA MAHATASA TRATARASA DEVAVRADASA GUDAPHARASA SASASA "Great king of kings, divine and saviour, Gondophares Sases", Buddhist trisula symbol.] Sases, Gondophares II, also Gondophares-Sases (circa 85 CE) was an Indo-Parthian king who ruled in northwestern parts of India in modern Pakistan. He is only known from coins, where he seems to be associated with king Gondophares.

He apparently succeeded Abdagases in Sindh and Gandhara.

His coins show the Greek deity Zeus, forming a benediction sign (possibly Vitarka mudra), and incorporate the Buddhist symbol of the triratana.
