My son and I went to the Baltimore coin show this morning and he picked this out from one of the dealers we stopped by. He thought it was pretty cool since it was square and had an elephant on it. Apollodotos I. c174-165 BC. AR Drachm of Indian weight standard. Elephant standing right; monogram below Zebu bull standing right; monogram below
I always wanted an AR zebu/elephant combo! Here is an Apollodotus I AE, my first coin of the type. Apollodutus I, AE hemi-obol, 174-165 BC O: Apollo standing facing holding arrow in right hand and bow in left, Greek legend around: "Savior King Apollodutus", BAΣIΛEΩΣ / AΠOΛΛOΔOTOY / ΣΩTHPOΣ. R: Tripod with Karoshthi legend. 21 mm, 8.2 g.
