Mint State! Slight die shift on reverse. Magnificent golden iridescent toning. \nWe note the unusual position of the monogram (consisting of a Π and an Α), positioned under Athena's spear, as if it were a pedestal on which it was placed. On other types, it is always found next to the shaft or under the exergue line. \nDemetrios II's reign is largely unknown and unclear; he was probably king of the Bactrian kingdom between 175 and 170 BC (although uncertainty remains and reign dates between 150 and 140 BC are sometimes used). \nBIGR Demetrius II 1.6 ; Bopearachchi 1E ; Mitchiner 101f ; HGC 12, 126.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"reverseCaption\"\u003eBAΣIΛEΩΣ ΔHMHTPIOY\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"weight\"\u003e16.79 gr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cdma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43560023589093,"sku":"1021130","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1655\/7029\/files\/1021130A.jpg?v=1771974620","url":"https:\/\/www.numiscorner.com\/products\/1021130-coin-baktrian-kingdom-demetrios-ii-tetradrachm-150-145-bc-ms-63-silver","provider":"Numiscorner.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
