| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of Nike facing left in the field, depicted in flowing robes with large wings spread behind her, holding a wreath extended in her right hand and a palm branch in her left, rendered in the dynamic Hellenistic style characteristic of Indo-Greek coinage. A circular Kharosthi legend surrounds the central type along the periphery of the flan, reading 'Maharajasa pracachasa tratarasa Stratasa,' meaning 'Of the Great King, the Easterner, the Saviour, Strato.' The reverse presents a well-struck, high-relief composition typical of the workshop responsible for Strato I's silver tetradrachm coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Strato I ruled the eastern remnants of the Indo-Greek kingdom at a moment when Baktrian power was already fragmenting under Saka and Parthian pressure from the northwest. He almost certainly co-ruled for part of his reign with his mother Agathokleia as regent, a dynastic arrangement reflected in bilingual coinage struck in both Greek and Kharoshthi — making these tetradrachms among the earliest coins produced for an Indian-literate audience by a Hellenistic ruler.
The Bopearachchi sequence places this type firmly within the Taxila mint sphere.
