Hellenistic Coins from Kampÿrtepa

The article is concerned with Seleucid and Graeco-Bactrian coins found in the excavations at Kampÿrtepa, carried out by the Tokharistan archaeological expedition of the Fine Arts Research Institute during the years 1979-1991 and 1999-2010. In all, 30 coins of interest have been found there: 2 coins of the Seleucid king Antiochusiand 28 of the Graeco-Bactrian rulers, including coins of Diodotus, Euthydemusi, Demetriusi, Euthydemusii, and Eucratidesi. Most of the coin finds were small-denomination bronzes. Two more unique coins of an unknown type were uncovered at Kampÿrtepa: the legend on one of them contains the name Heliocles [iii]. In addition, three rare imitations of Demetriusiand Eucratides coins are presented in this paper.
