| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed and draped bust of Euthydemos II facing right, rendered in finely modelled high relief in the Hellenistic portrait tradition. The king's curly hair is bound by a royal diadem with flowing ties visible behind the neck, and the truncation of the draped bust is clearly articulated. The youthful, idealised facial features exhibit strong Hellenistic craftsmanship, with a prominent aquiline nose and well-defined chin. The entire effigy is contained within a carefully executed beaded border, with the flat field left unlettered. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Euthydemos II's reign was brief and obscure even by the volatile standards of Baktrian dynastic politics — he likely ruled as co-regent or immediate successor to his father Euthydemos I, whose own kingship had survived a siege by Antiochos III at Baktria around 208 BC and ended in a negotiated peace that preserved the dynasty. The son's coinage is rare enough that reconstructing a firm chronology remains contested among specialists; his position in the dynastic sequence still generates disagreement between Bopearachchi and other authorities.
