Dichalkon - Tigranes VI Palm

Descrizione del dritto	Bare-headed, bearded effigy of Tigranes VI facing right, wearing the Armenian tiara adorned with a prominent eight-pointed star motif. The portrait is rendered in a Hellenistic provincial style typical of Armenian royal coinage of the first century AD, with bold, somewhat crude relief characteristic of hammered bronze issues. The king's features are rendered with a strong jaw and defined beard, conveying regal authority. No legend appears on the obverse field.

Descrizione del rovescio	A tall palm tree with a straight central trunk and symmetrically spreading fronds occupies the central field, rendered in bold relief. The palm branch, a well-known symbol of victory and royal prestige in ancient Near Eastern iconography, is depicted with multiple pairs of fronds fanning outward from the stem. The Greek royal legend is distributed within the field to either side of the palm motif. The overall design is characteristic of the provincial hammered bronze coinage struck in the name of Tigranes VI during his Roman-supported reign.
