Coin of Eukratides I
The coin, titled "Coin of Eukratides I" by an unknown artist, features two distinct sides. The left side shows a profile view of a man's head facing right, wearing a helmet with a crest on top. The helmet has a curved brim that covers the forehead and a nose guard. The man's hair is depicted under the helmet. The edge of the coin has a decorative border. The right side displays a chariot with two horses, both facing left and appearing to pull the chariot in that direction. The charioteer is standing and holding reins. Above the chariot, there is a curved line of Greek text, and below the chariot, there is more Greek text. The coin appears to be made of a metal, likely silver, with visible signs of aging and wear.
