Æ reduced tetradrachm Indo-Scythian

The Indo-Scythian kingdom emerged as Saka nomads pushed south through Bactria following the collapse of Greco-Bactrian power in the late second century BC, eventually controlling territories spanning modern Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northwestern India. The "reduced tetradrachm" denomination is a misnomer in practical terms — by this period the tetradrachm had already been so heavily debased and downsized through successive Bactrian and Indo-Greek issues that the copper versions were essentially token coinage, inheriting a prestigious name with little of the original monetary weight behind it.
