Drachm - Eucratides I

Eucratides I seized the Baktrian throne through civil war, almost certainly killing his predecessor Demetrius II in the process, and spent much of his reign fighting on two fronts — against the Parthians to the west and Indian kingdoms to the south. Ancient sources credit him with commanding an army of just 300 men against a besieging force of 60,000 before breaking the siege through relentless sorties. He was murdered by his own son before he could return home, the son reportedly driving a chariot through the corpse.

The monogram placement variant noted against Bop#6W suggests a die officina distinction that remains incompletely mapped in the literature.
