    This is a drachm I picked up today, issued by Azes II of the Indo-Scythian kingdom of Bactria in present day Afghanistan.Many people have speculated that he was head honcho of the 3 Magi or Wise Men of the New Testament.Apparently he was the most likely candidate,being interested in Astrology/Astronomy and within traveling distance of Judea.Here is a link to the story.
