Tetradrachm - Philoxenus

正面描述	Standing figure of a city goddess (Tyche) facing left, robed and holding a cornucopia in her left arm while extending her right hand in a gesture of benediction. A monogram appears in the lower left field. The circular Greek legend surrounds the central device, reading BAΣIΛEΩΣ ANIKHTOY ΦIΛOΞENOY, identifying the issuer as the invincible king Philoxenus. The design is rendered in the provincial Indo-Greek style characteristic of late Bactrian coinage.

附加信息	Philoxenus ruled a shrinking remnant of Bactrian Greek power in the late first century BC, squeezed between Scythian incursions from the north and the expanding Indo-Scythian presence to the south. His copper issues, including this tetradrachm, reflect a kingdom operating with degraded resources — silver had largely disappeared from the monetary supply by this point, replaced by copper denominations that retained the tetradrachm name as a nominal rather than a weight-class designation. MIG 344 is among the later attributions in Osmund Bopearachchi's sequence for Philoxenus, placing it toward the final phase of his reign.
