Chalkous - Artabanus II

Beschrijving voorzijde	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.

Beschrijving keerzijde	A centrally placed amphora depicted in outline, occupying the primary field of the reverse. The vessel is rendered schematically, as was conventional on Parthian bronze chalkous issues of this period, with the characteristic narrow neck and broad body of a Hellenistic amphora type. The surrounding field is largely plain, with the design showing the typical irregularity of a hand-struck provincial copper issue.
