Indo-Scythian—and—First Square Coins

I've come close many times...
...but I've just acquired my first rectangular coins and filled out my Indo-Scythian collection. Feel free to post your Indo-Scythians, Indo-Bactrians, Indo-Parthians, your rectangular, or any ancients with corners.

Gosh, your presentations make your coins look so good!! Excellent job.

 

Nice coin, Ray. And great presentation as usual.

Although I'm moving away from Indian coins, this one has enough Greek for my tastes and is still one of my favorites.
