Dichalkon - Tigranes I tree

Obverse description	Bare head of Tigranes I facing left, wearing a distinctive four-pointed Armenian tiara adorned with a star motif and secured by a diadem. The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition, with the king's facial features depicted in profile. The tiara, a characteristic royal emblem of the Armenian monarchy, rises prominently above the head. The flan is irregular, as typical of hammered bronze issues of this period.
