| Additional information |
Lysias ruled a shrinking Indo-Greek territory in the Paropamisadae and possibly parts of Arachosia during a period when the kingdom was fracturing under pressure from both Eucratid rivals and expanding Parthian power to the west. His coinage is relatively scarce, consistent with a limited reign over a constrained geographic area. The SNG ANS variant designation here suggests a die combination not fully catalogued in the primary references — worth noting for specialists tracking die linkages across this compressed series.
