[QUOTE="THCoins, post: 2817953, member: 57364"]Nice opening post coin ! It looks brandnew. Note that i have seen several of these which had modern resilvering. Without restarting an old discussion, i would prefer not to call Zoilos II a Bactrian king. Bactria was a totally different area to the west of the Hindu Kush mountains. At the time of Zoilos, control over Bactria had been lost to the Kushan for almost a century already. So Zoilos was not really the last of the Bactrians. Here some different types. I am currently undecided in the Zoilos II/III debate. A different young one (for example no ear visible) [ATTACH=full]660971[/ATTACH] A young Adult: [ATTACH=full]660970[/ATTACH] A Bop-2 type with totally different style: [ATTACH=full]660972[/ATTACH] After Zoilos II still came the rule of Strato II. This is a version of Strato II in co-rule with his son Strato III: [ATTACH=full]660973[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
