| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped half-length bust of King Monobazos I facing right, rendered in the Parthian artistic tradition. The effigy features a long beard and a distinctive four-pointed tiara secured with a diadem. The encircling Greek legend identifies the ruler by royal title and name. The portraiture reflects the characteristic frontal-torso, profile-head convention of eastern Hellenistic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Adiabene occupied a strategically awkward position between the Parthian and Roman spheres, and its rulers navigated that pressure through careful dynastic alignment with the Arsacids. Monobazos I is known primarily through Josephus, who records the later conversion of his dynasty to Judaism under his son and successor — an event unusual enough that it drew sustained Roman and Parthian attention to this otherwise minor client kingdom.
Dichalkon issues of Adiabene are genuinely scarce in any condition, a reflection of limited original production rather than heavy circulation loss.
