Tetradrachm - Hermaeus Soter

Hermaeus was almost certainly the last Indo-Greek king to strike silver coinage of any significant volume, and his reign — extending into the late first century BC — coincided with the progressive collapse of Greek political control in Bactria and the northwestern Indian subcontinent under pressure from Scythian and Yuezhi incursions. His tetradrachms were subsequently copied extensively by local rulers after his death, producing a long series of debased imitations that muddies attribution considerably. The Bopearachchi 4A corr. designation signals a die pairing that doesn't map cleanly onto the standard sequence.
