1/2 Obol - Apollodotus I

正面描述	Apollo depicted standing facing, holding an arrow in his right hand and a bow in his left, rendered in a Hellenistic style with no monogram present at left. The figure is shown in full length within the square flan. A three-sided Greek legend surrounds the central device, occupying the upper and lateral fields of the coin. The inscription reads BAΣIΛEΩΣ AΠOΛΛOΔOTOY ΣΩTHPOΣ, identifying the ruler as King Apollodotos the Saviour.

附加信息	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.
