| Obverse description | Heroic bust of Eukratides I facing right, diademed, draped, and cuirassed, wearing a crested Boeotian helmet adorned with a bull's horn and ear — emblems evoking martial prowess and divine kingship. The portrait is rendered in the vigorous Hellenistic style characteristic of Baktrian royal coinage, with sharply defined facial features and finely articulated armor. The entire design is enclosed within a bead-and-reel border, a refined decorative element common to the finest issues of the Baktrian mint. |
