| 表面の説明 | The obverse depicts the Indo-Scythian king Azes II mounted on horseback, advancing to the right, wielding a whip in his raised right hand while holding the reins with his left. The royal equestrian effigy is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition characteristic of Indo-Scythian coinage. A degraded circular legend in Greek script surrounds the central device, reading BAΣIΛEΩΣ BAΣIΛEΩN MEΓAΛOY AZOY, translating as 'of the Great King of Kings Azes.' The irregular flan and characteristic softness of strike are consistent with hammered quarter-stater denominations of this type. |

Azes II remains one of the most contested figures in Indo-Scythian numismatics — some scholars have argued he never existed as a separate ruler at all, proposing instead that "Azes II" coins are simply later issues of Azes I. The debate has direct implications for reconstructing the Azelian era, a dating system used across the Indo-Pakistani subcontinent whose absolute anchor point is still unresolved.
Senior's reference 105.251D places this among a tightly defined die grouping within the broader Azes coinage. The gold quarter stater denomination saw far more limited production than the silver tetradrachm series that dominated the kingdom's commerce.
