Æ Obol - Apollodotus II

Apollodotus II ruled in the eastern Punjab during a period when the Indo-Greek kingdoms were fracturing under sustained Saka and Parthian pressure from the northwest. His copper issues circulated in a region where Greek political authority was already contracting, and the relatively high survival rate of his bronzes suggests hoarding rather than steady commercial use — communities burying savings ahead of advancing steppe nomads.

Bopearachchi's sequencing places this type among the later emissions of his reign, when control of mint operations had likely consolidated into fewer centers.
