| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed and draped bust of Strato II facing right, wearing a crested helmet adorned with a diadem; the king is depicted in the Indo-Greek artistic tradition with fine engraving of facial features and drapery folds. The effigy is rendered in three-quarter view, characteristic of late Indo-Greek coinage. Surrounding the bust, the Greek legend reads ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΣΩΤΗΡΟΣ ΣΤΡΑΤΩΝΟΣ (of King Strato the Saviour), disposed in a circular arrangement around the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Strato II ruled the last gasping fragment of Indo-Greek territory in the Punjab at a moment when Scythian pressure had already extinguished every other Greek kingdom east of the Euphrates. His coinage — bilingual in Greek and Kharosthi — was a practical concession to a population that had largely abandoned Greek as a living administrative language. The kingdom ended with him, almost certainly absorbed by the Apracharajas or Indo-Scythian rulers sometime in the early first century AD.
