Indo-Scythian Kingdom Silver Drachm King Azes II

Step into the rich history of the Indo-Scythian Kingdom with this exquisite silver drachm, minted during the reign of King Azes II (35 BC – 12 BC). Weighing 1.80 grams and measuring 19 mm in diameter, this coin is a remarkable piece of ancient numismatic art.

The obverse showcases King Azes II mounted on a horse, holding a whip with a Kharoshthi letter ‘bu’ at the right and surrounded by Greek legend.

The reverse depicts Zeus standing left, holding Nike aloft in his outstretched right hand, with Kharoshthi legend around.

This coin is not only a testament to the cultural syncretism of the Indo-Scythian era but also a prized collectible for enthusiasts of ancient history and coinage.
