| Obverse description | Facing bust of King Orodes II rendered in a schematic, archaic style typical of Parthian bronze coinage, set within a roughly square flan. The king is depicted wearing a diadem and appears in frontal view, a highly unusual orientation for Parthian coinage that distinguishes this small bronze denomination. The portrait is executed in low relief with stylized facial features, reflecting the provincial workshop character of the issue. The surrounding field is largely plain and unadorned. |
