| Reverse description | Draped bust of Abgar X Phraates, king of Osroene, facing right, wearing a distinctive tiara adorned in the Parthian-influenced tradition of the Edessene royal court. The bust is rendered in a provincial style that blends Hellenistic and Near Eastern artistic conventions. A Greek legend surrounds the portrait, proclaiming the king's name and title. The reverse design reflects the client-kingdom status of Osroene under Roman imperial authority during the joint reign period. The field shows typical surface roughness associated with heavily circulated provincial bronze coinage. |
