Eukratides I (171–145 BC), sometimes called Eukratides the Great, was one of the most important Greco-Bactrian kings, descendants of dignitaries of Alexander the Great. It is unclear whether Eukratides was a Bactrian official who raised a rebellion, or, according to some scholars, a cousin of the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes who was trying to regain the Bactrian territory. Eukratides came to the throne by overthrowing the dynasty of Euthydemus I in Bactria, whose son Demetrius was conquering northwestern India. The king whom Eukratides dethroned in Bactria was probably Antimachus I. He fought against the Indo-Greek kings, the easternmost Hellenistic rulers in northwestern India, temporarily holding territory as far as the Indus, until he was finally defeated and pushed back to Bactria. Eukratides had a vast and prestigious coinage, suggesting a rule of considerable importance. The warlike king was murdered on his way back from India by his own son (either Eukratides II or Heliokles I, although there are speculations that it could be his enemy′s son Demetrius II), who hated his father so much that he dragged his dead body after his chariot and ordered the corpse to be left without a sepulture. The murder of Eukratides probably brought about a civil war amongst the members of the dynasty. The successors to Eukratides were Eukratides II and Heliokles I (145–130 BC), who was the last Greek king to reign in Bactria. Once the Yuezhi tribes overpowered Heliocles, the Greco-Bactrians lost control of the provinces north of the Hindu Kush.
Specimens with this monogram are not frequently seen.
The style of coins from this workshop is somewhat primitive. Rare.
