Greco-Baktrian Kingdom, Eukratides I AV Half-Unit. Circa 170-145 BC. Monogram / Horse's head to right. Unpublished in the standard references; Roma XVI, 427. 0.48g, 7mm, 12h.
Near Mint State. Extremely Rare; the finest of three known examples.
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.
