Drachm - Hermaeus Scythian Imitation, Monogram Left

These imitative drachms copying the types of Hermaeus — the last credible Greek king in the Kabul region — were struck by incoming Scythian rulers who lacked the administrative infrastructure to introduce wholly new coinage immediately. The monogram placement serves as one of the few diagnostic tools numismatists use to sort this tangled series, with Bop's classification being the primary framework for attribution since no mint signatures survive.
