| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed and draped bust of King Theophilos facing right, with curly hair rendered in fine detail and the diadem ribbons visible at the nape. The royal effigy is depicted in the Hellenistic tradition, with a draped paludamentum over the left shoulder. A circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait in the field, reading clockwise from upper left. The overall style reflects the late Indo-Greek artistic idiom, combining Hellenistic portraiture with the irregular flan characteristic of locally struck coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Theophilos is among the most obscure of the Indo-Greek kings — no ancient literary source names him, and his entire historical existence is reconstructed solely from coins. His epithet "Autokrator," meaning self-ruler or commander, suggests a military usurper rather than a dynastic heir, though which territory he controlled and for how long remains genuinely unknown. The attribution to around 90 BC is a numismatic estimate, not a documented date.
Bopearachchi's corpus remains the only systematic attempt to sequence these rulers through die linkage and hoard evidence.
