| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Tigranes V facing right, bearded, wearing a bead necklace and the distinctive Armenian tiara adorned with three eagles in relief, the tiara secured with a diadem whose ties fall behind the neck. The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition, with fine drapery visible at the shoulder and the tiara serving as the principal dynastic emblem in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
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.
