| Beschrijving voorzijde | Heroic bust of King Antialkidas depicted from the rear in three-quarter view, the head turned to face left, wearing a diadem over flowing hair; the king holds a javelin over his right shoulder, with the shaft extending prominently across the field. The effigy is rendered in the Hellenistic artistic tradition, with naturalistic musculature and confident regal posture. The circular legend surrounds the bust in Greek script, reading ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΝΙΚΗΦΟΡΟΥ ΑΝΤΙΑΛΚΙΔΟΥ. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Antialkidas ruled from Taxila, one of the few Indo-Greek kings whose reign is corroborated by both numismatic evidence and a contemporary inscription — the Heliodorus pillar at Vidisha, erected by his ambassador to the Shunga court around 110 BC. That diplomatic mission suggests a kingdom still capable of projecting influence well into the subcontinent, even as Bactrian power to the northwest was collapsing under Saka and Yueh-chih pressure. The epithet Nikephoros, "victory-bearer," was a deliberate piece of Hellenistic political branding.
