Kharoshthi legend: "Maharajasa dharmikasa Minamdrasa" (King Menander follower of the Dharma").[1]Menander II equipped with a cuirass, lamellar armour for the thighs, and greaves, and making a blessing gesture.

Menander II Dikaios (Greek: Μένανδρος Β΄ ὁ Δίκαιος; epithet means "the Just") may have been an Indo-Greek King who ruled in the areas of Arachosia and Gandhara in the north of modern Pakistan. However, since he is entirely known through his coins, this may have just been a separate set of coins issued by Menander I with a different epithet.
