2,000 Year Old Coins The little known, ancient Indo-Greek Kingdom was located in the Pakistan-India region. From 35 B.C. to 5 A.D. King Azes II ruled this kingdom. He is believed to have sent Magi (wise men from the East) with gifts of myrrh and frankincense to celebrate the birth of Jesus. At this same time, King Azes II minted Silver Tetradrachm coins- the very same coins we're offering today during this special release. The King on Horseback Coins One of the original features of these coins is King Azes II portrayed on horseback and holding a whip, a rare departure from the typical bust or head image. From Greek mythology, the reverse design is more typical with an image of Zeus facing left with an eagle and scepter. The Indo-Greek kingdom, and its coins, expressed a mixture of both Indian and Greek cultures. Coins from this period are quite unique as they were struck in multiple languages.
