| Aversbeschreibung | Draped bust of the ruler Sapalbizes facing right, wearing a crested Macedonian-style helmet adorned with a crest and cheekguards rendered in the Hellenistic tradition. The portrait displays strong Greco-Bactrian artistic influence, with the facial features modelled in low relief on an irregular flan. The Greek legend naming the ruler appears in the left field behind the bust, partially visible due to the compact flan size. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Sapalbizes ruled a Yuezhi sub-kingdom in Bactria during the turbulent interregnum between the collapse of Indo-Greek power and the consolidation of the Kushan empire. His coinage closely imitates Indo-Greek prototypes — a deliberate choice by a nomadic ruling class asserting legitimacy over sedentary Greek-influenced populations they had displaced after pushing south across the Oxus in the late 2nd century BC. The specific tribal affiliation of Sapalbizes within the Yuezhi confederation remains debated; he may represent one of the five *xihou* recorded in Chinese sources.
