<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 1797794, member: 57364&quot;]Just popped in here. Thought i&#039;d register now in order to be able to make a reply.</p><p>The coin shown above is not indo-greek, nor indo-scythian.</p><p>At first sight it resembles a Azes II tetradrachm. However, it is to small and appears to be of very low silver content if any. In addition, if you look at the legend on the horserider side you see on the left a part of the word BASILEOS. Which is spelled incorrectly including retrograde letters. This indicates that this coin is likely issued posthumously after the death of Azes II.</p><p>If you look in front of the horse there is a monogram. This is not a indo-scythian monogram, but the monogram of Gondophares, also known as Sases (and his successors)</p><p>In conclusion this is likely a Indo-Parthian AE tetradrachm issued under the rule of Gondophares-Sases, or possibly his successor Abdagases, around 20-65 AD.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
