SILVER TETRADRACHM COIN INDO SCYTHIAN AZES II
Silver Tetradrachm Coin Indo Scythian Azes II. High Grade Silver. Gregorian Calendar Year 35 to 12 BC. Greek And Kharoshti Text. Hellenistic Sakas Dynasty. This numismatic piece is a genuine original. Coins attributed to Azes II use Greek and Kharoshti inscriptions, depict a Greek goddess as his protector, and thereby essentially follow the numismatic model of the Greek kings of the Indo-Greek kingdom, suggesting a high willingness to accommodate Greek culture. A novel difference of the Indo Scythians was to show the king on a horse, rather than his bust in profile as did the Greeks. Obv: King with a coat of mail, on a horse, holding a scepter, with Greek royal headband. Numismatics, Historical Collectibles, Rare Ancient Coins For Collectors.
