| Beschrijving voorzijde | Jugate diademed and draped busts of Obodas III and Hagaru I facing right, rendered in the distinctive Nabataean artistic style with flowing, striated drapery and stylized hair. The foreground bust, presumed to be Queen Hagaru I, is partially obscured by the overlapping effigy of Obodas III in the background. The busts are set within a beaded border that runs along the coin's circumference. The relief is bold, with the facial features rendered with characteristic Hellenistic-influenced Nabataean craftsmanship. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Obodas III ruled the Nabataean Kingdom as something of a cipher — ancient sources, particularly Strabo, describe him as indolent and disengaged from governance, leaving real power to his minister Syllaeus. This coin's joint issue with Hagaru I reflects the Nabataean practice of honoring the queen consort on coinage, a dynastic tradition that distinguished their monetary output from contemporary Hellenistic neighbors. Obodas died in 9 BC under suspicious circumstances, with Syllaeus widely suspected; the Romans ultimately executed Syllaeus for it.
