| Reversbeschreibung | Zeus striding left in three-quarter rear view, his right arm raised and brandishing a thunderbolt, with the aegis draped over his extended left arm; a small eagle with spread wings stands at his feet to the left. The composition closely follows the Seleukid type from which the Baktrian royal coinage derives its iconographic tradition. The royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΔIOΔOTOY flanks the deity, and the control letter N appears in the upper field. A beaded border encircles the design. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Diodotos staters occupy genuinely contested historical ground: numismatists and historians still disagree on whether certain issues should be attributed to Diodotos I, the Seleukid satrap who broke from Antiochos II to found an independent Baktrian kingdom, or to his son Diodotos II, who was subsequently murdered by Euthydemos I around 230 BC. The two rulers struck coins of nearly identical type, and the dynastic sequence is reconstructed largely from the coins themselves rather than from literary sources — which creates a circular problem that has never been fully resolved.
The SNG ANS and Bopearachchi reference gaps noted here are significant: unlisted specimens can indicate unpublished die combinations, which in Baktrian gold are actively studied.
