| 裏面の説明 | Standing deity depicted facing, rendered in a Hellenistic style, likely Zeus or a syncretized local divinity, holding attributes in each hand, possibly a sceptre and a patera or thunderbolt. The figure stands in a frontal pose with drapery falling to the feet. A Greek royal legend, partially legible, surrounds the field, reading [ΒAΣIΛEΩΣ] APTABA[NOY], identifying this as a coin of King Artabanos of Sophene. The strike is weak in places, obscuring portions of both the figure and the inscription. |

Sophene occupied the upper Euphrates region as a semi-autonomous Armenian principality, and coinage attributed to an Artabanos in this period sits at the uncertain boundary between Achaemenid administrative tradition and early Hellenistic local dynastic assertion. The name Artabanos is Iranian in origin, common among ruling families across the former Persian satrapies in the decades following Alexander's conquests.
Alram 236 places this issue within a tightly defined dynastic sequence, though the chronological brackets remain disputed among specialists of Armenian numismatics.
