| Obverse description | Diademed and bearded bust of Phraates IV facing left, rendered in the Hellenistic-Parthian artistic tradition with simplified, somewhat schematic modeling characteristic of Parthian bronze coinage. The king's distinctive beard and royal diadem are discernible despite the heavily worn and irregular flan. No legend is present on this bronze denomination, consistent with Sellwood type 51 dichalkoi. |
