| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Artabanus II facing left, rendered in the Parthian artistic tradition with summary but characteristic die work. The portrait displays the king's profile with a plain, unadorned head, typical of the base-metal coinage of the Arsacid dynasty. The field is flat and shows natural patination consistent with copper alloy coinage of the period. |
