| Reverse description | Helios, radiate and depicted as a youthful divinity, stands facing frontally in a quadriga of four horses galloping to the left, his cloak billowing dramatically behind him in the wind — a dynamic composition characteristic of Baktrian Hellenistic die-cutting. A monogram appears in the upper right field, serving as a mint or magistrate control mark. The legend BAΣIΛEΩΣ EΠIΦANOYΣ ΠΛAΤΩNOΣ (of King Plato Epiphanes) runs in Greek characters around the outer border. The exergue bears the letters MZ, likely a secondary control mark or date reference. |
