| Additional information |
Abdagases II ruled a kingdom in terminal contraction, squeezed between Kushan expansion from the northeast and Parthian pressure from the west. His gold staters are among the final issues of the Indo-Parthian dynasty, struck from a mint base that had already lost control of much of the Indus valley. The series is poorly documented in ancient sources and attribution has shifted repeatedly among specialists — some issues previously assigned to Abdagases I were reclassified following die-linkage studies in the late twentieth century.
