About Good Very Fine; some cleaning marks.
All we know of Apodakos is learned from his coins, and as such our understanding is extremely limited. It is uncertain whether he was the son of Hyspaosines, who the latter's widow Thalassia tried to install on the throne after the king's death, or whether he was a usurper.
