Reverse description Mounted warrior on horseback advancing to the right, depicted in the Indo-Scythian imitative tradition with a spear or lance held upright. The horse and rider are rendered in a simplified, schematic style consistent with local workshop production derived from the Eukratides I prototype. A Greek legend runs around the periphery of the coin, partially visible on the irregular flan. The overall composition follows the standard reverse type of the Bactrian Eukratides I drachm but with notably degraded artistry.
Reverse script Greek
Reverse lettering BASILEWS EUKRAT[IDOU]
(Translation: King Eukratides)
