| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed and draped bust of King Apollodotus II facing right, with characteristic Indo-Greek royal portrait style showing close-cropped hair and a royal diadem with flowing ties visible behind the neck. The effigy is rendered in a Hellenistic artistic tradition adapted to local coinage. A circular Greek legend surrounds the royal portrait in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Apollodotus II ruled one of the longest-documented reigns among the later Indo-Greek kings, yet the political geography he controlled was already fragmenting under pressure from Scythian incursions pushing through Arachosia and the Punjab. His silver coinage follows the bilingual convention — Greek on one face, Kharosthi on the other — that the Indo-Greeks had maintained since Menander I, reflecting a deliberate administrative accommodation of local populations rather than any concession of authority.
MIG 424 falls within a reign whose chronology scholars still debate by margins of a decade or more.
