1 Pentachalkon - Azilises Indo-Scythian

Azilises ruled the Indo-Scythian kingdom during a period of intense competition with the Parthians to the west and the remnant Indo-Greek dynasts to the east — his coinage was minted across multiple mints in the Punjab and likely Gandhara, producing significant die variation across the series. The bilingual format, Greek on one face and Kharoshthi on the other, was not mere cultural gesture but a practical administrative tool for governing populations that operated in distinct commercial and scribal traditions.

MIG 2281 sits toward the heavier end of the pentachalkon spectrum, suggesting an earlier striking before weight standards drifted downward across the reign.
