The obverse with the diademed king, wearing [[aegis]], and brandishing a spear. The Greek legend reads: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΔΙΚΑΙΟΥ ΜΕΝΑΝΔΡΟΥ, ''Basileōs Dikaiou Menandrou'', "Of King Menander the Just". The reverse shows [[Zeus|Zeus Nikephoros]], and the [[Dharmachakra|eight-spoked wheel of Dharma.]] The [[Kharoshthi]] legend reads: ''Maharajasa'' ''Dharmikasa'' ''Menadrasa'', "Of King Menander, the Follower of the [[Dharma]]".]] '''Menander II Dikaios''' ([[Ancient Greek|Greek]]: {{lang|grc|Μένανδρος Β΄ ὁ Δίκαιος}}, ''Ménandros ho Díkaios,'' meaning "Menander 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.
