Dichalkon - Tigranes I tree

Beschrijving voorzijde	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.

Beschrijving keerzijde	A tree, likely a cypress or stylized sacred tree, depicted centrally in full growth with spreading branches rendered in a schematic fashion. The trunk rises from a ground line, flanked on left and right by the divided royal inscription in Greek letters arranged vertically in the inner fields on either side of the tree. The design is characteristic of Hellenistic-Armenian bronze coinage, combining royal titulature with a symbolic arboreal motif.
