This striking modern restrike represents an extraordinary numismatic heritage from the Greco-Bactrian kingdom under King Eukratides I (circa 171–145 BC). The obverse elegantly portrays the goddess Demeter, renowned in ancient Greek culture as a symbol of harvest, fertility, and prosperity. Her finely detailed visage, crowned with wheat ears, symbolizes agricultural wealth and abundance, reflecting the economic strength and cultural sophistication of the ancient Bactrian realm, a region where Greek and Eastern traditions uniquely intertwined. On the reverse is the majestic image of the goddess Nike, the embodiment of victory, confidently standing beside a military trophy—a symbol deeply tied to triumph in warfare and divine favor. The Greek legend "ΕΥΚΡΑΤΙΔΗΣ" clearly marks the coin as belonging to Eukratides' reign, accentuating his status as a dominant and powerful ruler of the Hellenistic East. This carefully crafted reproduction, marked appropriately as a restrike, presents numismatic collectors and historical enthusiasts with a visually appealing and educational artifact, capturing both the artistry and the rich historical context of the ancient Greco-Bactrian civilization.
