Aleksandr Naymark had a paper in the Journal of the Oriental Numismatic Society on the related bronze/"horsehead" coinage which discusses the time period proposed for the archer coinage.  You can read it at <a href="https://www.academia.edu/12413681/_An_Elusive_Stage_in_the_Samarqand_Archer_Coinage._Journal_of_Oriental_Numismatic_Society_no._208_Summer_2011" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.academia.edu/12413681/_An_Elusive_Stage_in_the_Samarqand_Archer_Coinage._Journal_of_Oriental_Numismatic_Society_no._208_Summer_2011" rel="nofollow">https://www.academia.edu/12413681/_An_Elusive_Stage_in_the_Samarqand_Archer_Coinage._Journal_of_Oriental_Numismatic_Society_no._208_Summer_2011</a> .  He has since revised his views somewhat, but I haven't seen his new views in print yet. Hycodes also looks a bit like some of the portraits of Rajuvula.  I think it is the moustache.  Collectors of Hellenistic and Roman material are not used to portraits with long moustaches.[/QUOTE]
