Greco-Baktrian Kingdom, Bactria Region, Eucratides I Megas, Circulation Era: 170 - 145 BCE, Denomination: Obol, Silver, 0.46g, 9.43x10.87 mm, Obv: Draped, diademed, cuirassed & armored bust facing right wearing a crested Boeotian helmet (covered with pelt of scales & adorned with wing), decorated with bull's horns & ears, and surmounted by an aegis, All within a decorative dotted border which is rarely seen in-full, on-flan on this extremely rare type, Rev: Naked Demi-God Heracles (Hercules) standing front facing holding club & Nemean lion skin in its left hand, crowning himself with his right hand, BASILEYES / EYKPATIDIODOY, Transliteration: Of King Eucratides. P.S: Appearing for the first time in any Indian Auction. The obverse portrait of this unusual coin series bears strong similarities to the helmeted ruler's bust on the drachmas of Heliocles I – the helmet is decorated with a network of scales, likely the aegis of Medusa. The reverse motif of a standing naked Demi-God Heracles (Hercules) is taken from the Tetradrachms of Demetrius I, which is otherwise unprecedented in Eucratides' coinage. This evidence could suggest that the Obols were only minted after the death of king Eucratides I. Attribution: HGC 12, 140-141; SNG ANS 612-615; Mitchiner 1, 167a. Extremely Fine+.
