The Indo-Greek Kingdom laid along the silk road. Politically and geographically separated from the Greek and Latin speakers of Europe all new types of coins were produced. Infused with Buddhist culture and eastern flair the Greek artisans made coins in all metals and many unlike others seen anywhere else in the world. I encourage fellow members out there to contribute their Indo Greeks, post some pics up. Menander I 165-130 BC. Converted to Buddhism and is mentioned in Buddhist texts for a dialog he had with a monk. AR Drachm AR Tetradrachm We have Antimachos I (171 -160 BC) AR Drachm One of my Favorite coins...square with roundish qualities..an elephant and a holy cow (Zebu bull) what else could one want in an ancient coin... Apollodotos (174-165 BC) AR Drachm Report this Post to the Staff
