| Reverse description | Draped bust of Abgar X Phraates, King of Osroene, facing right, wearing a distinctive Parthian-style tiara or diadem adorned with a star, characteristic of the local Edessene royal iconography. The king is shown with long flowing hair and beard. A Greek legend encircles the bust identifying the ruler by name and title. The reverse reflects the dual authority expressed on this joint issue, combining Roman imperial and local dynastic imagery. |
