1/2 Obol - Apollodotus I

Apollodotus I ruled the eastern satrapies of the Indo-Greek Kingdom — principally the Indus Valley and surrounding regions — and is among the few Indo-Greek kings whose coinage survives in sufficient quantity to suggest genuine administrative reach rather than ceremonial minting. His copper fractions, including this half obol, circulated alongside bilingual issues carrying both Greek and Kharosthi legends, a practical concession to local commercial life that distinguishes his reign from earlier, more Hellenically insular rulers. The SNG Copenhagen 359 attribution places this piece within a well-documented series, though die studies remain incomplete.
