Greco-Baktrian Kingdom, Eukratides I AV Half-Unit. Circa 170-145 BC. Monogram / Horse's head to right. Unpublished in the standard references. For monogram cf. Roma Numismatics XII, 419; cf. Roma Numismatics II, 370. 0.51g, 6mm, 12h.
Near Mint State. Apparently unique and unpublished.
From a private British collection.
This extraordinary coin can be linked to the reign of Eukratides I by the use of the same monogram that appears on his very rare gold staters. Though this monogram was also used by the Indo-Greek kingdom, notably on tetradrachms of Apollodotos I, the latter is not known to have struck coins in gold.
