| Reverse description | The Dioskouroi — Castor and Pollux — depicted as mounted warriors on rearing horses galloping to the right, each figure bearing a spear and palm frond. The two riders are shown in vigorous, dynamic composition characteristic of Baktrian royal coinage. A dynastic monogram appears to the right in the field. The circular Greek legend surrounds the scene, reading ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΜΕΓΑΛΟΥ ΕΥΚΡΑΤΙΔΟΥ. |
