I cannot make out the inscription, but the portrait sort of resembles Euthydemos II (below) Without finding an exact match, I feel the coin is a little "off" in style. Where did you find it?

cisom New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 04/07/2012 8:37 pm You were a big help. I search the internet for Bactrian coins and came across a replicaon ebay. I'm generally not a collector of coins , but I have few people trying to buy it from me and just want to know the value. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ancient-Rom...em337429f64a I Report this Post to the Staff

I searched everywhere for your coin and unfortunately the only place I found a close match was this one and one other at Forums Fake site. I'm not an expert, so someone may come by and confirm this or add a different view. http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fa...umbnails.php Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 04/07/2012 9:37 pm Doucet, I see a close enough match in the portrait, specifically the shapes in the hair. That probably means the OP's coin is a copy too. Cisom, Edited by DVCollector 04/07/2012 10:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
