Lot 2123
Lot 32123 > BACTRIAN KINGDOM. Euthydemus II (ca. 185-180 BC). AR tetradrachm (32mm, 11h). ANACS XF45. Diademed, draped bust of Euthydemus right / ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ / EYΘYΔΗMΟY, Heracles standing facing, holding wreath, club, and lion skin; KP monogram to left. Bopearachchi 1C. Bopearachchi & Rahman 142. SNG ANS 216. Euthydemus II was evidently the son of Demetrius I, the great Greco-Bactrian king whose conquests pushed deep into Northern India and enlarged the realm to its greatest territorial extent. He seems to have ruled jointly with his father, but likely did not succeed him, as all of his rare coins depict him as a young boy.
