COIN HISTORY:

MENANDER I - INDIA

Menander I- "Menander I the Saviour" was an Indo-Greek King of the Indo-Greek Kingdom (165/[3]/155[3] –130 BC) who administered a large empire in the Northwestern regions of the Indian Subcontinent from his capital at Sagala. His reign was long, successful and prosperous, opening up trade between India and Europe. Generous findings of coins testify to the prosperity and extension of his empire (with finds as far as Britain) as well as duration of his reign: the finds of his coins are the most numerous and the most widespread of all the Indo-Greek kings. He was beloved for the prosperity he brought to India during that time and also for converting to Buddhism.
