| Obverse description | Heroic diademed and draped bust of Eukratides I facing right, wearing a Macedonian kausia helmet surmounted by a bull's horn and ear — distinctive emblems associating the king with divine bovine imagery. The portrait is rendered in the refined Hellenistic style characteristic of Baktrian royal coinage, with strong facial modeling and a resolute expression. The diadem, symbol of royal authority, is clearly visible at the brow. |
