| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Arsaces II facing left, wearing the distinctive soft Parthian bashlik (karbasi) headdress, its pointed cap and trailing neck flap rendered in fine relief. The effigy displays a bearded profile with curling locks visible at the brow, conveying an archaic Hellenistic artistic influence characteristic of early Parthian coinage. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend, the portrait occupying the full coin face in a bold, unadorned composition. |
