| Obverse description | Draped bust of Tigranes IV facing right, wearing the distinctive Armenian tiara adorned with a star emblem and secured by a diadem. A torque is visible around the king's neck, indicative of royal Artaxiad iconographic tradition. The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic style typical of late Armenian royal coinage, with relatively low relief. The field is plain, with no visible legend on the obverse. |
