Kings of Charakene, Apodakos AR Tetradrachm. Dated SE 210(?) = 103 BC. Diademed head to right / Herakles seated to left on rock, holding club on knee, ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ to right, [AΠ]ΠΟΔAKΟΥ to left; monogram in outer left field, IΣ(?) (date) in exergue. Sunrise 464 var. (date); Alram 495-496 var. (same); DCA 480. 15.24g, 33mm, 12h.
Near Very Fine. Extremely Rare.
From a private UK collection.
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.
