| Reverse description | Diademed male head in profile facing left, rendered in low relief with hair drawn back and traces of a legend visible along the upper and outer border of the flan. The portrait displays Hellenistic stylistic conventions typical of Armenian royal bronze coinage, with schematic but discernible facial features. The field around the effigy is plain, and the coin surface shows patination and wear consistent with circulation. The irregular flan edges are characteristic of hammered bronze issues of this period. |
