Detailed explanation-1: -One of the key pieces of archaeological evidence about the Indo-Greeks is the coins. There are coin finds of several dozen Indo-Greek rulers in India; exactly how many is complicated to determine, because the Greeks did not number their kings, and the eastern Greeks did not date their coins.
Detailed explanation-2: -Indo-Greek coins were of three types: stater (gold), drachm (silver) and copper (chalcon). The front of the coin carried the bust of the ruler in whose name it was issued and the back usually carried the figure of a deity, like Zeus, Apollo, Poseidon etc.
