The bust is presented in three-quarter view with the drapery of a royal garment visible at the truncation. A circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait in the field, reading the full royal titulature of the king. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Apollodotus II ruled one of the last Indo-Greek kingdoms still holding territory in the Punjab during a period of acute dynastic fragmentation, when Greek political control of the subcontinent had contracted to a handful of competing regional rulers. His coins are among the more frequently encountered late Indo-Greek issues precisely because his reign appears to have been comparatively stable and prolonged — unusual for the period. The Bopearachchi sequence for this type runs through multiple die pairings, suggesting sustained mint activity rather than emergency or commemorative striking.
