Analysis of the Beghram Greek Coins with reference to Plates. 

 Plate VIII. Series 1st — Recorded Kings of Bactria. 



Menander. 

 Fig. 1. Obverse. A helmed head with Greek legend BASlAEnS 2nTHPOS ME- 

 NANAPOT. 

 Reverse. A figure of victory standing to the left, the right-hand 

 stretched holds a wreath, the left-hand depends by the side, 

 and holds a palm branch, legend Pehlevi. — Monogram ]$J B. 

 This is one of fifteen quadrangular coins in my possession. I selected it for a 

 specimen, both on account of its superior preservation, and of the youthful 

 appearance of the king. They all essentially agree, excepting that on the others 

 the figure of victory is standing to the right. The monograms vary, HE and HZ. 

 On these coins the features of the celebrated Menander display the various 

 transitions from youth to manhood. 

 Fig. 2, Obverse. Head of elephant, with legend as preceding. 



Reverse. A lengthened figure (fish ?) legend Pehlevi — Monogram H A. 

 Fig. 3, Obverse and reverse as preceding — Monogram appears to be A P.
