| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of King Plato facing right, wearing a Macedonian-style crested helmet adorned with a star or floral ornament on the bowl. The facial features are rendered with refined Hellenistic naturalism, displaying a strong profile with a prominent nose and firm jawline. The king's neck is draped in a garment with folds visible at the truncation. The broad, plain field emphasizes the bold, high-relief portrait typical of Baktrian royal coinage. No legend appears on the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Plato of Baktria is one of the more obscure figures in the succession of Greek kings who carved up the former Seleucid east — his reign dates remain disputed, and no ancient source names him directly. He is known entirely through his coins. The extreme rarity of his issues, combined with blank reference numbers across the major catalogs, suggests his types were either very briefly struck or produced in a single, limited emission before his reign ended — likely by violent displacement, given the dynastic chaos of mid-second century Baktria.
