正面描述 King Azes II depicted on horseback, horse walking to right, rider shown in profile holding a whip or goad raised in the right hand. A tamgha symbol appears in the right field. The surrounding border carries a Greek legend, partially worn, with die-engraving characteristic of a local imitative workshop rather than a principal royal mint. The overall style is somewhat degenerate relative to prototype royal issues, consistent with a provincial or posthumous imitation.

附加信息

Azes II remains one of the most contested figures in ancient numismatics — some scholars argue he never existed at all, with coins attributed to him representing a prolonged posthumous or imitative issue of Azes I continued by successor rulers who found the name dynastically useful. This piece falls squarely into that debate. The Senior 139 classification groups it among deliberate imitations, likely struck by local or regional authorities in the northwestern subcontinent who lacked the administrative apparatus of a centralized mint but needed acceptable currency for trade and taxation.

Billon content in this series varies considerably, suggesting episodic debasement rather than a controlled standard.
