EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient history - the Gold Stater of King Diodotus of Bactria. Dating back to the 3rd century BC, this coin holds immense significance as it represents the establishment of a new kingdom by King Diodotus himself. King Diodotus, a powerful monarch who reigned from 285-239 BC, seized control of the region around 250 BC and went on to issue his own currency. This gold stater is a testament to his authority and influence during that era. The image captures the profile of an enigmatic male figure, believed to be King Diodotus himself. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring out the regal essence of this ancient ruler. As we gaze upon this coinage, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment in history when Bactria became an independent sovereign state under its ambitious king. Preserved with utmost care by CM Dixon and Mike Dixon, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also the historical value encapsulated within this small object made of gold. It serves as a tangible reminder of our ancestors' financial systems and their mastery over minting coins for trade and governance.
