1 I regard this as a corroded, genuine specimen.

2 This Is what Cunningham calls the common type of the tetradrachms of Eukratides.
Apparently in his day Bactrian tetradrachms were frequently brought down into India, but
they are all now extremely rare, with the exception of the tetradrachms of Euthydemos I.
Perhaps the coins which used to come from Bukhara to India now go up to Bussia. But
I have not been able to test this theory by a visit to St. Petersburg.
