| Additional information |
Tigranes V ruled as a Roman client king, installed by Augustus and later confirmed under Gaius Caesar during his eastern settlement of 1 BC. His coinage is among the scarcest of any Armenian royal series, produced over a reign that Roman sources treat as little more than a administrative footnote — yet the bronzes that survive attest to a functioning local mint operating within Roman political orbit.
Kovacs 185 and Bedoukian CAA 156 are rarely found in the same specimen, as collector attribution between the two references has historically been inconsistent.
