Beschrijving voorzijde Diademed bust of Phraates facing left, wearing a tiara. To the right of the effigy, a star-in-crescent symbol appears above an inverted anchor with a single crossbar. The portrait is rendered in the debased style characteristic of late Elymaean coinage, with heavily stylized facial features typical of the period. The flan is irregular, as is standard for hammered issues of this dynasty.

Aanvullende informatie

Elymais was a semi-independent kingdom wedged between Parthia and Susiana, and its later copper tetradrachms — issued well into the second century AD — reflect a polity running on inertia rather than authority. By this period the kingdom had been effectively subordinate to Parthian overlordship for generations, and its coinage had degenerated accordingly, with die-cutting increasingly schematic across successive rulers named Phraates. The specific reference type 14.7.2-3b falls within a bracket where attribution between individual Phraates rulers remains genuinely contested among specialists.
