ABSTRACT
The chapter deals with how numismatic evidence has been studied and analysed for reconstructing the final phase of the Indo-Greek kingdom in India. After giving an overview of past contributions and their discursive positions, an argument for revisiting some of the evidential features of the coinage is made. The argument points to how some important features were missed from an interpretational viewpoint, and then offers a critique of the ‘Gandharo-centric essentialism’ of past research which has contributed to this lacuna.
