| Reverse description | The Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, depicted as two standing figures facing one another, each holding a spear and wearing a pileus surmounted by a star; the composition fills the central field in the compact format typical of this fractional denomination. The Greek royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΕΥΚΡΑΤΙΔΟΥ is arranged in two vertical columns flanking the twin figures. The execution is characteristic of Baktrian hammered coinage, with a beaded border surrounding the design. |
