Very Fine. A contemporary imitation of the interesting "Pedigree issue" series.
From the inventory of a UK dealer.
This coin is imitating one part of the interesting issue of a so-called 'pedigree' series by the Greco-Baktrian king Agathokles Dikaios ('the Just'), made up of coins combining depictions of gods and legends referring to Agathokles on their reverses with obverse portraits commemorating Alexander the Great, Antiochos III and the Greco-Baktrian kings Diodotos I (founder of the kingdom), Diodotos II, Euthydemos I, Demetrius I and Pantaleon, forming a line of kings leading to Agathokles.
