Kings of Bactria. Antimachos II. (c. 165-160 BC?). AR Drachm (17 mm, 2.43 g).
Obv. BAΣIΛEOΣ NIKHΦOPOY ANTIMAXOY, Nike advancing left with wreath and palm.
Rev. King on horseback right, legend in karoshti around.
Mitchiner, Indogreek -; SNG ANS 424.

Toned, good style. Reverse die a bit worn, otherwise, good very fine.

Ex F. R. Künker 89 (2004), 1606.

Antimachos II. used to be dated later until a tax receipt was published in 1994 that named him together with Antimachos I., who was his father. This shows how difficult the chronology of the Graeco-Bactrian kings still is.
