CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE IN SILVERThis Azes II drachm played a major role in the history of Early Christianity.
"The wise men of the east" described in the bible were guided by a prophesy
and the Star of Bethlehem to find the baby Jesus. Christian tradition has set their
number as three, called them Magi, and named them Caspar or Gaspar, Melchior,
and Balthazar. They are interpreted today to have been court astrologers
from the east who studied and interpreted signs in the sky.
The EPIPHANY commemorates their visit.Biblical scholars have debated their identities for centuries. Many scholars
believe Caspar (or Gaspar) to have been a representative sent by
"The Great King" Azes II of ancient Bactria to the Holy Land to pay homage to
the newborn Jesus. His travels were almost certain to have been financed by these
very same bronze and silver drachms issued by Azes, who ruled the area which
is now modern Afghanistan from 35 BC to 5 AD-during the time of the birth of Jesus.Azes II (35 BC - 5 AD), king of Bactria, minted drachm coins
inspired by ancient Greek designs originating 500 years earlier.
The obverse legends were written in Greek, the reverse is in Indian script,
making his coinage among the earliest bilingual coins.The coins were hand made by striking
hot, metal disks between iron dies.This crude method resulted in imperfect, but remarkably detailed coins.
The king on horseback is inscribed on the one side,
and a standing figure of Zeus is on the reverse.
Comes in mini album & Certificate of AuthenticityAll of Azes' coins were in circulation
when Christ lived. It can be assumed that
some were struck on the day of Christ's birth!GUARANTEED GENUINEPlease note that we have more than one of these available. We have included
