I believe a big part of the Indo-Greek kings are only known from coins and only some also from literature or inscriptions. What is also not helping is the attributions from R. C.

[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 7857773, member: 96635"]Nice examples! A nice drachm and I really like that clear and well struck bronze coin. I enjoy the look of these squared coins, they are different and I am still on the hunt for one. I bought one from ebay some time ago and found out it was cast (oops!), luckily I got paypal.

Nice example Parthicus! A very sharp and lovely obol. Nice example of the great indo-Greek king Menander! Nice examples [USER=79017]@Andres2[/USER]! Thank you [USER=87080]@TheRed[/USER], that is a lovely and tough portrait coin of Menander. I suppose inspired from Eukradites? Another coin on my wishlist :D Thank you [USER=91461]@Ryro[/USER]! Such nice squared coins, thank you for sharing. I really need to get some Indo-Greek bronze. A great selection of Indo-Greek coins! All stunning examples. The Philoxenos tetradrachm is an absolute master piece and the double portrait is nice. Thank you for sharing. Cool example from the same king! Thank you [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER]. Still a lovely example you have there. A double portrait is always a win-win! I can not see the photo, it is blank. But Kushan coins are another interesting piece of numismatic history.[/QUOTE]
